	So i just got my cylinders back from being replated and brand new wiesco pistons and all new gascets and new SS power valves. Put the pistons in and put the cylinder over them and tightened the bolts in an x pattern rotaing and slowly tightning with a torque wrench. Torquing at 30 foot pounds. And sure enough one of the bleepin studs broke. I dont know if it was a crappy torque wrench or what but its broke. Not the happiest after spending about a grand on it but now i dont know if i should split the case or try to take the broken stud out and put a new one in. 2002 Edge x 800; Recently swallowed a valve so, New wiseco pistons, rings, pins, circlips, renikisil cylinders, and updated lower end bearings. - Slp single Pipe and Can - Vforce3 Reeds - Slp air horn and gutted box - 140/310 Slp primary spring Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	no its not. Its snapped about a quarter inch down. Im thinking i could use that reverse drill bit in a way but its not a drill bit. Its used for taking out bolts with stripped heads. And will that stud just twist right out? now u can see what i'm talking about 2002 Edge x 800; Recently swallowed a valve so, New wiseco pistons, rings, pins, circlips, renikisil cylinders, and updated lower end bearings. - Slp single Pipe and Can - Vforce3 Reeds - Slp air horn and gutted box - 140/310 Slp primary spring Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I would split the case and bring the top half in to a machine shop and see what they can do. PJH Racing Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	You will want to split the cases, due to using an easy out, you will want to avoid getting any drilling crap into the bottom end. Also is 30 ft lbs the tourqe spec! seems high to me Fix it till its broke! Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	well none of the shavings are going actually into the crankcase. And no need to bring it to a machine shop because its just a stud. So if i do split the case i will be able to just replace it. Its just a pain to have to split it. 2002 Edge x 800; Recently swallowed a valve so, New wiseco pistons, rings, pins, circlips, renikisil cylinders, and updated lower end bearings. - Slp single Pipe and Can - Vforce3 Reeds - Slp air horn and gutted box - 140/310 Slp primary spring Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Take a couple rags and stuff them down into the bottom of the crankcase and tape over them with some painters masking tape. Then drill and easy-out without worry. Once you're done wipe all the chips off the tape, then remove the tape, and rags, and there'll be no chips in the bottom of the crankcase. 95 - Storm 800 - Modded - AKA: FrankenStorm - Totalled near 100mph at Tug Hill! 96 - XLT/SP with Storm 800 trip/trip and now EFI - FrankenStorm II lives... 95 - RXL -- Sale Pending -- 05 - Edge 800 long track - Stayin' stock for now.. --------------------------------------------- It made me more compassionate, more empathetic, more nurturing...

I agree, this is what i do when i change my cylinder base gaskets to prevent the small piece's of material from going into the crankcase. I Also have my small shop vac running and move the hose to the area I'm working on/cleaning off to suck up any thing that could end up where i don't want it too. 98 Indy 500-Wife's 01 XCsp 600 edgex-current 96 formula lll 600-sold after droping a cylinder for the second time 95 Indy 440 50yrs anniversary-sold(miss this sled) 74 Polaris Electra 340-sold 69 Massey Ferguson Ski Whiz 440-sold(got for bday when i was 14) Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Ya i would but i ended up breaking the easy out bit in there. So i'm taking the engine out and splitting the case. I'm going to have new crank bearings put in. 2002 Edge x 800; Recently swallowed a valve so, New wiseco pistons, rings, pins, circlips, renikisil cylinders, and updated lower end bearings. - Slp single Pipe and Can - Vforce3 Reeds - Slp air horn and gutted box - 140/310 Slp primary spring Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
