Type 4 Crankcase - How to remove cylinder head studs?
Hi Everyone,
I bought a Type 4 Crankcase in order to trial fit the Gearbox mount / Engine adapter plate.
I need to strip it down further and clean out the oil so it's easier to handle.
My question is, how do I remove the cylinder head studs without damaging them?
.. or is it normal to rip them out and replace?
Are they sealed in with some kind of thread locker?

Steve, The double nut method where you lock the two nuts against each other will normally work as long as Murphy and mr Rust is not around. The question is why do you want to take them out. The type 4 motor fits perfectly on a type 1 box except for the flywheel. I have used a 1700 type 4 flywheel and presure plate with a 200mm clutch plate with great succes. It is only plug and play. The type four motor will perfectly fit into your Nova as the rear valance is shaped to accommodate it.
Enjoy!
