Rocker stud
Hello I am not shure if the motor is a 351c or 351w but it is one of them!lol
I would like to know if the stud for valve rocker is pressed in or screwed in to the head. My friend has the motor in his boat and the top of the stud snaped off. Any ideas?

If it's screw in just make sure your wrench fits snug. Press in requires getting a good hold on the stud and pulling it out with some force such as a slide hammer or other way of pulling on it.

Well lets just say there is no place for a wrench to fit snug! We are not shure if it is pressed in or threaded. I told him to go check the casting #s on the head and we are going to see what 351 and year it is. I know it is not a 351m thats what I have in my truck.
Thank you everybody for the replys
