2.0l

Ease up, grass-hoppah. You need to better articulate what you're trying 
to portray here. I guarantee you'll get a lot better response if you 
take the time to explain your questions in more detail.

1) How deep is the fracture of the stud? Another question is WHICH ONE 
is it? Pix help considerably. You're talking about head-related stuff 
then jumped to a stripped stud in the block? Again, more details....

Can you get on it w/ a vise-grip, or is it beneath the surface? 
Otherwise, you'd most likely have to drill out the old stud and re-tap 
the hole (MUCH better, imho, to pay a machine shop for this activity 
especially if the engine's out.) If you can get on it, hose it down w/ 
PB Blaster and let it sit for 24 hours. Should do the trick.

2) taking the head off just to clean "deposits" is not worth the time, 
effort, $$....now, if you're taking the head off to replace/recondition 
something specific, then it becomes a question of your available time 
and money because if the engine was supposedly fine before, why would 
you take it apart? (unless you're anal like many of us (but being anal 
costs $$$  :)

Hope that helps - Jeff

>Ok...got the 2.0l pretty much stripped except for the pulleys for the timing belt, water pump etc...the head on this engine is considerably newer looking than the block and seems to be rebuilt maybe?  the intake manifold is off, the exhaust manifold is off but there are a few studs still in the block and one snapped in the block too....(what do I have to do for that? drill, tap?)
>Looking into the intake of the head you can see black deposits and such...is this normal? should I take the head and everything off?  there is no leaking from the valve cover and the engine was tested ok...is it just a matter of switching over everything from the 1.8l?
