Hello
I am about to properly rebuild my old Super Meteor that has sat at the back of the shed for years
Has anybody used thicker 3/8 studs on a Super Meteor engine- were they fitted to later Constellations ? Do the Super Meteor barrels/head have to be drilled out to accept these larger studs ?
Reason I ask is my motor in the past has pulled some of the standard studs out of the crankcase. These were repaired in the past by a previous owner by fitting stepped/tapered studs. Am going to repair previous damage and want to prevent any future problems in future
Also any advise on preventing blown head gaskets on big twins.

Thanks

Thanks

Hi, no not done this but have had similar problems on my Connie, if you do down the 3/8" stud route could I have your current studs? Best regards Mark
