[QUOTE="SamLS, post: 675191, member: 30416"] I have had the same thing happen to me after I welded the transfers on some cylinders. I let them get too Hot. Some of the studs wouldn't come out without stripping. I drilled oversize and used a thread forming tap ( no flutes ) with a good moly lubricant I believe it was made by Castrol for tapping. I used a die and made some plugs out of 6061 AL installed with JB weld and tapped them for new studs. You did say the engine overheated. How hot is the plating bath? Any ideas alloy and composition is used in cylinders? [/QUOTE]
