i gota do a thing for a wedding and well my car was making a chuffing noise,..... the bastard was running but barely, but then as i started it today it ran like a complete bastard .... like it was on 2 cyl.... i think ife pulled a headstud out from the pass side..... how can i fix it quick or do i have to pull the engine and fuck around with a headstud that will cut into the case

mine usedta loosen back off again (pull out a little further).

i used the thread "cleaning" studs which worked ok for a while then i swapped motors. dunno where that old motor is now.
