<VV> Engine disassembly

[Rodney Sampson]

Tim:
    It's cheaper to replace nuts than studs, so I use a vice grip on the 
stud close to the case, then use a torch to
    warm the nut , spray with WD40 while hot and then try to remove the 
nut.  Repeat until the nut is removed.
    In all my years of tearing apart engines, I've only had 1 stud that 
failed this technique.
Good luck

  I am ready to take apart my '64 FC engine for complete cleaning and to 
rebuild it. Is anything suggested before tearing into it as far as the 
head nuts?
  I am hoping none of the studs unscrew out of the case. And if the 
studs do unscrew out of the case, do we just screw them back in or is an 
oversized
  stud suggested? I have been soaking the studs as well as I can with 
Liquid Wrench for a few days now.
Thanks for any suggestions, thoughts, and opinions.
