SUCCESS!! I wound up using a case saver from a vw shop. The stud in question is the right upper front and a time-sert or in this case big-sert would have obstructed the oil passage as they are designed to be mounted flush with the surface. I cut the case-saver down to 20mm so it fits right behind th...

OK, so it looks like the outside threads of the case saver are M14x2.

I have been searching the web for case saverthreaded insert specs for a pulled cylinder stud repair. A lot of people sell them, but no one lists any specs other than ID10mm OD14mm. Is the inside M10x1.5? Which drill bit and tap do I use? How long are they? I actually bought some EZ-LOC inserts but r...

The Timeserts are much larger as mentioned above and I'm certain that they will work.

Unfortunately I have to repair a pulled cylinder stud on my 1992 R100GS. It is the right side, top exhaust which also holds the rocker assembly. The helicoil installed by a previous owner has sheared the threads off inside the case hole which measures +-11mm inside diameter. I am trying to refrain f...

Well, tomorrow is airhead maintenance day. Thanks to you I am now aware of rocker arm end float shim adjustment and will investigate this along with adjusting the valves. I will post my findings and thank you all so far.

The pinging or ticking is present at idle. When I put my ear to the valve cover I hear a distinct mechanical ping emanating form the right side, it is not present on the left. This noise was present before I replaced the valve adjuster screws/nuts.
