Well that was a big fail, nothing for the acorn nuts to tighten the cover. Used a LOT of heat and got the stud out, along with all the previously stripped threads etc.
Pulled the spray bar and had to pull the cam main and heli coiled it. when all done only had 3.25 turns with the stud so I had to grind the stud shorter by about 1/8 inch. This is hack mechanics but I don't know of another fast fix for this stuff. There also is not a full fix. Someone jacked the car up and leaves it like this and goes away. Apparently not total destructive since the engine still lives but just wrong. So the main spray bar has no cap... on the initial pressure place. I should just bite it and buy the cam adjustment tools. Then buy a 540 and adjust those also after I have practice LOL..
