Everything went good until i had one that just wouldn't seem to tighten so i get a better look and the whole bolt/nut was spinning. My question is what should i do? new head's or see if there is a place that can re weld the bolt?

Those are press fit, I know they make upgraded threaded studs for those. You just have thread the stud holes is all..... Just google Chevy threaded rocker studs or maybe some will post you a part # if they have one off hand chickenhouse Enthusiast May 23, 2010, 8:52 PM Post #3 of 3 (1538 views) Re: 1988 Chevy Bolt that holds Rockers broke Sign In Back in the day, I had a 66 Impala SS conv. GM exec car. 327 had a ticking prob so I warmed the engine up and shut it down, pulled the valve cover and took the ticking rocker off the stud. Then I stacked flat washers on the stud and then the nut and pulled the stud out. The replacement stud was 2 or 3 thousanths oversize and kept in a freezer until ready to install. Engine warm & stud cold was a cakewalk tapping it in (using a nut screwed onto the new stud - not damaging threads). Careful not to overtighten the adjusting nuts, they will flatten a cam lobe.
