Can someone please confirm the size of the nut please that sits on the 8 studs that holds the crankcase together, bolted down by them cylinder heads?
I am unable to remove the 8 studs from the bottom half , They just wouldn't budge. seems like I will have to buy the appropriate size nuts and then lock/loosen em.TIA

just an m8x1.25
grab a stud extractor and maybe use some heat to loosen it.
these are VERY handy to have. https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-and-specialty-tools/bolt-extractor/p/duralast-stud-extractor/1266645_0_0?cmpid=LIA:US:EN:AD:NL:1000000:TLS:19489353547&&CATARGETID=120054150001289970&CADevice=c&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7s20BhBFEiwABVIMra6MkxkYiD9Ht18WhQ0Xq_M962b5yNrozzWpxckx8DJhYlXvPTDJhxoC5LgQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Just pulled all of mine out, they were pretty much glued in.
I just used 2 flanged nuts and tightened them together and used the bottom one to unscrew it,
Just used a ton of heat, torch comes in handy at times lol
for sure, its a solid old school way to do it. I pulled all of the ones out of the motor last year in about 10 minutes with stud extractor and my dewalt nut driver. replaced with new ones from yambits.
Thank you Mark and Aaron, much appreciated.
