I like painting my slant sixes RED. But if you paint yours blue, that's ok, I won't chastise you for it.
 
You seem to have forgotten you posted this thread asking other people's opinions. And when the majority of posters, didn't share your veiw, you get all upset and throw names and insults. We all posted our experiences of why it isnt neccessary, and even tried to explain to you the reasons why bolts or studs retain tension which you clearly didn't understand. At the end of the day, you post crap like this, only to try to impress people, hoping for praise and admiration. That's always been your mo.....I actually am starting to feel bad for ya bud
 
How's this for engineering:
A .510 stud is 25% larger than than a .440 bolt.
A .07"x.07" slot would reduce the cross sectional area of a bolt shank by about 2.5%. Both shear and tensile strength vary linearly with area.

If anyone is torquing within 2% of failure, they've got other issues.

Losing 2.5% on just one fastener would be fine. Even if the slot caused a stress riser. A good deburr and edge break would help eliminate most stress concentration cause by the slot anyway. Doing the same with a flat, a groove, or any other means which minimizes change in cross section would be equally fine too.

Any interruption of the material grain would be inconsequential, as those factors have a greater impact on fatigue life and crack propagation and not ultimate strength. Studs also aren't TTY and so aren't being plastically deformed. Plus, the grain direction is along the axis of the bolt and so is the modification, so the impact would be minimal.
Thanks for the input. At least its logical and makes sense. I know what these machinists here have been doing my son included works and they have been doing it for years. Never a stud failure after several applications with using the same stud over more then twice . The machined grove had no impact on the torque. A ball end mill was used to keep the modification smooth with no sharp corners. for strength and flow transition.

You don't have to feel sorry for me . I laugh at your stupidness. I think your an asshole. My MO is a lot better then yours you just didn't look at that before adding your 2 cents with all the bullshit you hand out.

Maybe you should really look at the reasoning behind why the modification was done and if there would be any adverse effect on what was done to help oiling the rockers when using studs . You never did it so of course its totally not the way to address any issue that could result from the stud closing off the passages.

You just like to think you are the Hero and if you and a couple of your libtard buddies don't like someone finding a solution to a problem that you never saw. You all attack like a bunch of idiots.

Read post #125 The man at least made sense unlike you.

Richard I thought you were my friend. LMAO

You should try to be more like Richard. The mans accomplishments speak for themselves, he doesn't post on car forums looking for praise and admiration. You should try to be more like Richard!
 
I was referring to you Richard. Isn't your name Richard. So your not my friend. But are you a good Friend?

Did you read post #125 by Phreakish? I don't think he agrees with you on the stud weakness. But don't worry My "Good friend" we all see you for who you are. Richard. Troll on. I am not referring to Richard Petty. Your wannabe, With your fake 1/25 scale model photo shopped avatar. Isn't your name Richard Cranium. I should know your my"Good Friend" from the past.

There is a definition of a good friend . If you want to know it I could tell you.

If you would see how hard I am laughing at you at times when I respond you would give up. . You just keep on helping me have a good time on here. You my "Good Friend " and your libtard "Good friends" are a dam blast. Some of the members that come here to my garage know how much fun I have with you guys. It's hilarious that you all keep on giving. But I see all of you Rat Bastards as potential "Good Friends" LMFAO. I don't care what any of you wannabees think of me . I'll keep on helping members and having fun until I check out of this life.

Who is Richard cranium? I agree, you definitely seem to be loosing it bud!
 
Here, I got you a bigger picture of this fake plastic model, I'm guessing the picture is to small on your screen to see the realistic details!

Well let me enlighten you due to stupidity. We were just waiting for the chance to reply sitting here at the shop. Laughing

I couldn't wait until you asked

Richard Cranium ? Richard= Dick. Cranium= Head,,, AKA "Dick head"

Here is the definition of a good friend.

A " Friend" a person that goes out and gets a ******** comes back and tells me about it


B " Good Friend" A person that goes out and gets two blow jobs and comes back and give me one.

I am telling you I am laughing my *** off at you. If I were you I would take my toys and go home. If you can't have fun then don't come to my house and play. LOL
 
I almost tipped back off my chair laughing right now. You are right I am losing it. I haven't laughed this hard since the blotter acid in the 70's

I remember blotter, and suns and onks n arts, tim leary's,...but yeah...good old white blotter... I would sit in class a month later and start seeing trails randomly...high school days.
Okay now back to calling eachother dk heds and soliciting bjs ...:eek:

Tim aka "rat turd stirrer" just got his *** tossed...so...
..take it easy guys...the warden is watching .
 
If you took that blotter now... I bet you'dbe . bench grinding a twist around it like a candy cane.. itd look like a drill bit by the time you got done ...8 hrs later sitting on the floor forgetting what you were doing.
 
I didn't think you were part of the Asshole crew. True colors come out. **** you too.
You don't present a bad idea....and realize many of us have presented good ideas that most people gawked at OR simply shrugged and continued on with the way they did it. It used to bug me..because I believed it was a really good idea I had...now I could care less anymore.
Remember...
People in their 50 still wipe their boogers on the pants .
If you just remember that...you'll be good.

I personally think all slant sixes were painted yellow with pink flowers from the factory. I am sticking to that and if you show me a blue or red one your wrong . I had one yellow engine with flowers so that is the way they must have came. LOL Steve

Oh I like that . it sounds like a right cross to the mouth in this conversation!

They were yellow in HD 1 ton trucks and some others. The flowers must have been an hallucination from the acid.
