[Fot] Main brg strap

[Nick Black]

Yeah that stud at the drivers side rear of the block. I’ve kept it in check with sealant and lead washers for several years. The stud held torque but it now allows water up the stud and created a milkshake last time out. So, it’s time to refresh it and since I have another block...

Would like to change my own block as well...

If you are talking about the threads that hold in the head stud I once had a block that was good other than one corner stud hole having a crack that radiated into the liner opening. Cause the head to move around at that corner and resulted in head gasket problems. It was corrected with the Timesert, basically a threaded insert style of thread replacement.  The machine shop that did it pinned in place with wedges and that required a little JB Weld to keep the water in check.
