I need to make a fixture to aid in replacing a cylinder base stud that is pulling out of the crankcase on a 47 Chief. Anyone know the measurement from the center of the bore to the center of the base stud holes.
While I'm asking I'll go for a little more. I'm not a very good welder and have done very little of it but my limited experience tells me welding aluminum leaves it softer than before, sorta anneals it. With that in mind, I intend to use a thread insert for the repair,,, is that a good plan?
