Stripped stud

[mirman]

I was torquing the head on my Phantom 85 when I believe one of the studs stripped. How can I fix this? I am pretty sure it is stripped in the bottom end.

Helicoil Kits range in price but some good inexpensive kits with quality inserts can be bought on Amazon

Heli coil is probably gonna be the best option. Does your engine still have the warranty? You might be able to get a new bottom end free of charge.

Let's see pics, maybe the stud stripped and not the hole.

When I pulled the cylinder apart one of the gaskets ripped. Can I put it together with just one or do I need two?

You might be able to get away with it if you use a high heat gasket sealant in between the gaskets and let them set and cure together to turn it into one gasket and then a light amount of that sealant on the bottom and top of the new 2 in one gasket you just made so it seals on both surfaces it will adhere to...I did this once when I had to on one of my motors some years back and it worked just fine for me...It never leaked.

So I guess it's not good to run just one gasket?
