[Fot] TR4A Stripped Threads in Block

[Steven Belfer]

Questions,
Is the engine being freshly built on the stand or is the head being  
replaced with the engine in the car?
As the head was being torqued on, one of the long studs pulled up  
through its threads deep in the block?

the
first so are there any suggestions for a fix?  It's a street TR4A.
