Sheared Exhaust Studs getting you down?

Postby Darren C » Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:04 pm

I was horrified to see an article in a recent Delorean Magazine whereby the poor chap took his engine out due to sheared exhaust manifold studs!

No need,

Look no further

Introducing the patented “Dr Collins Delorean Stud Removal Method”

The biggest problem is how to drill out the stud without completely Fu*king it up.

All that is needed is my patented drilling guide plate. Specially made from 6mm steel with a 0.1mm tolerance to fit perfectly over the Delorean exhaust ports.

The plate features a special 3.5mm hole lined up to enable ACCURATE central drilling of sheared studs while stuck in the head. The guide also allows accurate hole angle (in line with the stud) and PREVENTS drill wander.
Drill straight and true EVERY TIME, even when upside down, in the dark, cold, shivering, with no blood left in your arms and generally hacked off.

The picture below shows the plate in situ. Simply use the “spare” stud holes in the head (using the NEW studs & nuts you’ve already bought to replace the sheared ones) or any remaining good studs to bolt on.

The second picture shows the tools required (note the lack of engine hoist)

And finally the removed studs (using an easi-out once hole is drilled)

The plate can simply be turned over for left or right hand stud removal, and a second plate is used for the larger spaced studs (bottom row) but not shown here.
Corners are specially cut to allow it to be positioned all ways to avoid dipstick tube, and casting lugs by alternator bracket. If the sheared stud wont come out with an easy-out, simply drill to 6mm using your nice accurate pre-drilled 3.5mm hole and then tap out.
“Simples”

Save time effort and your hard earned cash with the patented Dr Collins Delorean Stud Removal Method”

Don’t take my word for it, read the testimonials below:

“Hero of the month award must go to the Collins Meister for stud removal” quote: dmcscott2002


“After using Dr Collins Formula X cream for only 3 days my genital warts were completely gone” quote: ladybonkalot69


Oooops sorry, damn cut & paste…. wrong forum.

Darren, well done again!, very impressed as usual!
Maybe we can talk through the finer details over a pint this weekend?

Will these jigs be of "limited" construction?

Doesn't sound like a magazine that I subscribe to! ;) - But I'd pay £26.50 a year to have you in my toolbox Darren! :kiss:

Nice work! :thumbsup:

Cheers Al,

I can make a few sets to either loan out or sell, we'll see what the market is like and discuss as you suggest this weekend.
