Not a bad way to go. Only bad part is if you ever pull it again, it makes cleaning the gasket surface hard.

I cleaned the threads with a tap and used anti seize ( copper based ) on the ends of the studs.

So they will come out nice and easy. I always use that on head bolts. At 35ftlbs, I doubt it affects torque.

Just reading this makes me think of how many different ways over the years I've got broken stuff out. Sure some of you guys may know about this but have you ever seen a broken tap extractor? I have a set and they are the most unused yet completely necessary tools out there. Long fingers with a collar that slides down them to squeeze the broken tap and back it out. I've actually run across broken taps in things from other people leaving them in and gotten them out.

Jeff commented on another thread about using a t handle on a tap instead of a wrench or adjustable to "just clean threads". And yes, I have broken a tap before just cleaning threads because you never know when you fracture one the time before because they are so hard. Try getting one out or drilling them, you will not enjoy life.

Tap extractors are nice, really nothing worse to deal with than a broken drill bit or tap.

Nope. Broke a tap. Had a broken exhaust manifold bolt break on a 6.0 chevy gas. (Like a million of them are.) Front on the left head. Took my right angle drill and drilled it. It's a M8 bolt, hardened, and lock-tite'd in. Drilled out the bolt, and went to tap the threads. Got about halfway down the hole, and suddenly got tight. Then SNAP!....

Loooooong story short. Pulled the head. Tried to mill it out. Couldn't. Tried everything. It was stuck. Chipped out what I could. Drove it to the bottom of the hole. Heli-coiled it, and cut the new bolt off short. Hole was deep enough that the entire heli-coil went it, so it was all good. The new bolt was in contact with all the threads that it could. Storal of the morey, (let's see who gets that reference)..... weld a washer and nut to them and pull them. That's how I usually do it, but it was up there next to the temp sensor and I didn't want to drain the coolant, plus it was hard to get to. 4hr job, turned 4 days.

Had time to take the head off today. Some of the head bolts were lose. And the sheared bolt is flush with the block. I was hoping maybe some of the thread would protrude so I could get some vise grips on it. But the easy way won't be happening. The head doesn't look too bad just light carbon build up. The gasket on the other hand was broken and degraded.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
