Re: What to do when a bolt/stud and nut are spinning in harm
 

its going to require the top half of the block come apart..

until then im going to deal with less compression and probably burn more oil and do harm to other components but ... im gonna have to figure out if its worth the money to get all that work done when the bike still runs at 90 percent acceleration but a definite loss of power and a "poot poot" sound when starting off ..goes away as you go up in speed and gone by top of second gear

Try unscrewing the stud as far as possible and pull it the rest of the way out with vice grips.

If you can get the stud out, reset it with JB weld. It will be permanent and a lot cheaper than any other method.

Heli-coils are effective if the hole is not hogged out stripped.

:cry: :??:

If you keep running the engine with the "poot poot" sound you may end up cracking the cylinder head!
