HEMI Tick - Only A Matter of Time

[jmd4100]

I bought my 2007 1500 Hemi with 130k miles. Orig. head studs/bolts. Figured it was only a matter of time before I’d get the all-to-common tick... well, as of yesterday, it showed up. I only see one bolt/stud left on the whole left bank. Does anyone know if i can just rethread or restud the heads instead of buying new ones? Or is it better to get new heads? Thanks

I would only expect do heads if the stud holes are so rounded out that the new ones wont fit in.

Carefully remove the studs any which way you can, use a thread cleaner (kinda looks like a dull tap with a flat end) to clean the threads and reinstall new studs.
