Hi Tom,
I understand your confusion.  As a rule, only replace worn or damaged head 
studs.  If the studs seat tight in the case leave them in and clean the exposed 
end.  If they do come out of the case (cleanly with no removal of case 
material).  Clean the studs and reinstall it with Loctite.  If a some case 
material came out with the stud You need to replace them with oversized studs 
available through CLARKS corvair parts.  These work quite well.  
If a  lot of case material comes out with the stud (stripped threads) then 
helicoil or time-serts work well.  Of the two I prefer time-serts.  Helicoils 
can be a bit of a pain and have less surface area.  If you have any further 
questions we'll be more tehan happy to help. Feel free to contact me at

I'm confused about this. W.W's manual talks about removing them and
using helicoils or time-sert. But looking through the KR search data base
other's say not to remove them unless you have to.
