[@chriscarey3625]

Love ya work Mick, enjoy watching your shows. From memory I thought those tow outer studs screwed into the head, we used to unscrew them with vicegrips and put bolts in their place with extractors, good idea to use a sealant on both sides of the gasket where the inlet ports are. Those old girls were so pron to scucking air there 👍

Hint from a retired submariner. Wear a ball cap when under the car. 1. It warns you before you headbutt something (I.e overhead valves etc inside the submarine - and 2. helps prevent mud and shit getting in your eyes, hair etc. Enjoyed the vid as always.

[@englishandthebeautyoflangu3610]

Poetry in motion watching you caring for these classics. I reckon every car I've watched you work on so far has some memory attached. Dad had a HQ sedan (white) and Mum drove an XE station wagon (chocolate or s..t brown). The Holden was a Holden, but the XE drove beautifully, and every now and then you might catch Dad driving it! Was listening to a podcast about the economy then switched over to find a new Backshed video waiting on the playlist. Awesome!

Those old reds with standard exhaust manifold often had dowels where you said the studs had broken. When fitting extractors us old modern would put in studs and two of the manifold gaskets. To allow for extractors being not straight

Can’t wait to see the AP5 content. My grandpa had a white one new with push button auto. It was his first non black Plymouth. My mum drive or for 15 years. Then my sister, then me. We sold it in the mid 90’s to a family friend who did a full restore. I remember it had left and right hand threads on each side of the car, so the wheel nuts would not loosen while driving. Every one came to see how the push button auto worked. Wish I still had her

Some useful tail shaft tips there. Later today I plan on changing my unis out in my EFXR6. After driving to Melbourne for MotorEx in my Soarer and doing 1500odd km in Lexus comfort, then jumping back in the EF with 490,000km on the clock I thought to myself, "was that vibration always there?" 😂

[@backshed5295]

Hahaha 👍🍺

[@stevefairchild3337]

Great video. Never tried that trick with the Trans seal. Have done it with a pinion shaft and bearing, put shaft in freezer and bearing in oven on low temp. With bearing warmed up and shaft frosty the bearing slid right on, gotta be quick. I don't recommend this with the wife home, not a good scene. Good thing she didn't see me wash the housing in sink. Hot water and dawn did great. You got lucky with those 2 studs, not really the answer was the smaller diameter bolts. That was a great fix. I need to understand why the underside of the car looked so great, and then you put in that rust looking drive shaft. Huh. Still thanks for the informative video. I look forward for your videos. Great content. I did cringe when the skidsteer came out to move that valiant over. Phone versus compressor, 🤣 still laughing.

[@backshed5295]

I can answer the nice painted underside question mate and that would be when I painted underneath I must not have rolled the tailshaft over to get it all just got the side facing down hahah then going in I must have had it around the other way , probably the same reason the pan leaked ! Rushing . 🍺🍺👍

They’re locating studs fit the original Holden manifold which was much heavier & robust. When fitting headers/extractors on ‘red’ motors those studs on either end of head should’ve been replaced…or you end having what you’re fixing, leaking manifold. 👍

hey mate like your videos,good to see old cars getting up and running again , i looked at a few comments about the 202 end manifold studs and i didn't see any as yet to say how to fix that issue,you can actually unscrew them with a good pair of multi grips or something similar, and then just use a couple of 9/16 bolts or pull 2 studs from the other red six you have there ,then no more ticking from extractors, however i don't actually mind sound of a very small extractor leak,if you have been told how to fix it already, well and good,keep up the videos

[@backshed5295]

Cheers mate Nah they are press in on the earlier block not screw in mate . Later HX-HZ they screw in but nope they way I did it is the easiest way I believe 🍺🍺👍

[@coppertop2924]

@@backshed5295 that's news to me mate, been around holden 6 engines since the old grey 138,replaced many exhaust gaskets on the red sixes and have always taken out the studs on the ends,and always by just unscrewing them,some could be a bugga to get out but never failed,from the red 138,149,161,173,179,186,(202 red blue or black )I have never know to be ever pushed in,however I just may have missed an early engine that this is the case, you can not see the thread on those studs when they are fitted from the factory which to a person who really don't know the old sixes,gives them the impression that they are probably pushed in

👍fixed is fixed mate and there done now regardless, 50yr old motor I’d say you would fight longer to get the stud out than just welding it like I’ve done 👍🍺
