I'm rebuilding the engine in my MH 44 special (277 engine) and the head bolt studs are the threads are poor. New studs are not available. Can I make new ones from grade 5 bolts cut to the right length and threaded. Thanks for your thoughts

It is my understanding that rolled threads are stronger than cut threads. Fred OH

I could be wrong ,but I think the original studs are hot rolled steel and the threads are ground,not rolled or cut.Try www.montesequipment.com in Chicago.He deals in Continental engine parts ,but the MH 277 may use the same stud.Measure them before you call him.I also found some studs in an old hardware store in Indy.If you have a noted engine builder near you that restores old engines, they will have a scource for studs.

Pull the studs and try a few parts stores and compare them to what they may have you will probably find a number of them that will fit the bill. I've done that more then once with parts that they say they can't get and when compared to other stuff ended up being the same thing just not made for what your asking for them.

Be careful choosing bolts. Some studs have rolled threads and are different than bolts with cut threads. Ran into this problem on John Deere (G)Cyl head studs The bolts were loose fitting and did not work. Good Luck.

Go to Caterpillar. They have excellant quality fastners. They are pricey. I wouldn't worry about quality of the Cat studs. Grade 5 aren't hard enough, Grade 8 are just hard barely enough.
