hello
I just did a rebuild on a friends 1994 RM80 and one of the cylinder studs that holds the head in place was pulled out and appears to have stripped out the mounting hole in the cylinder. The stud has aluminum wrapped around all the threads that were in the cylinder which i imagine is what is left of the stud mounting hole. How can i fix this? I was thinking of using a cold weld to hold the stud in the cylinder but ive had bad experiences of cold welds breaking at the worst possible times. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
