Harley 6 7/8 Long head studs
Help! I need 4 6 7/8 in studs for My 1976 Harley Davidson engine. I had a crashed crankcase and the replacement did not come with the right studs. I know they are not difficult to make but I would prefer not to do so since good round 5/16 round rod is hard to find here. I am hoping someone has trashed crank cases with those studs I could remove.

Re: Harley 6 7/8 Long head studs
The studs are the intake manifold studs. I probably should just try to find quality steel round stock in 36 inch pieces. So far locally I can get it in 10 foot sections.

I also could use a clutch side of the crankshaft!

Re: Harley 6 7/8 Long head studs
I have a 1968 low compression head engine that is rusted all to hell inside. If I can get it apart for you I can send you those parts. Or I can ship it to u and you can have a try at it.

Re: Harley 6 7/8 Long head studs
I might be able to get it apart so if you want to just send it like it is and I will have a go at it. I will send money for shipping. Make arrangements and I will do the same. I would like to get my engine working this summer. PM me with the info. Thank you!

Re: Harley 6 7/8 Long head studs
I need to work on getting it apart. The lower end seems to have gotten water in it and is stuck SOLID! I pulled the carb and reed plate off and its all full of rust. If I can get the cylinder off I could split the cases. The cylinder studs are different on 2 of them cause thats where the stabilizing rod attaches to the head. PM me a phone # and I can send some photos of what I got.

Re: Harley 6 7/8 Long head studs
If you want to save the cases a good way to loosen the head nuts is to heat them a little hotter than a cherry red and twist off with a socket and extension. They should come off easily. My cousin in a muffler showed me this way to remove rusted exhaust manifold nuts. I can receive photos by e-mail not phone. I will PM you tonight.

Also you can soak the entire engine in vinegar for a while (week or more) and this will tend to cut the rust.
