Thanks guys, and thanks Undy for the link, looks like they have a distributor right next door in Sarasota !
Now all I have to do is dig out the three threads worth of helicoil down at the bottom of the hole ! (no problem, I have DENTAL TOOLS !)
I never did like the 40-45 ft-lbs torque on these studs, probably will happen to some of the others in time. A lot of tension on those studs with the higher spring pressures used with hi po cams.
