Morris Commercial Head Stud Removal.

[Mike K]

Hi Terry

I have the same problem. My Morris Commercial engines , the six cyl. OH types as fitted in the CS8 and PU , have stuck studs . Somebody suggested drilling the studs out and using helicoils to replace the original threads in the block - that sounds a little brutal to me .

I did try a stud remover over one of the studs , after heating the stud , I applied reasonable pressure, but nothing happened .

BTW a friend here had two C8's , they had originally been the 2 pounder portee models . We found another portee C8 in the old Kilmore wreckers many years ago, it had been turned upside down , we heard later on, the whole yard was melted down as scrap . A guy in NSW had two of them as well , in rough cond. I have pics somewhere .

The guy from Norway had many NOS engine parts for the 4 cyl E engines ..don't know what became of it all .Hughes in Sydney road, Melbourne had some engine spares too.My friend with the C8's bought a new complete engine from them .
