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 aeromaxaviation.com.

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.
