Hi.
I have one of those "headaches".. a pulled cylinder head stud that had once been 'sleeved'
I am feeling lazy to tear apart at this moment. Other than the leak, I still run perfect. Question, what short term solutions can keep me going say to next year? Is there a way I can fix that without splitting the case and still doing a decent job/solution?

Re: Crank case stud pulled
Hopefully, someone will have an answer to your question. I've never done engine work on any of my beetles other than the valve adjustments, carb rebuilds, etc..

Oh.. really!!!
Well, I managed to do a temporal plugging and using the engine well minus the leak. I don't like the thought that the stud is rather redundant (not really bolting down the head) but that's for a short time as I plan on introducing a type 4 in there very soon.
