EM studs and JazzmaTazz, the Quattro trio



Guys,

	I'm not sure what experiences the rest of you have had, but I just 
wanted to let you know that I was quite sucessful last night in removing 
all but one of the broken studs on my 5KCSTQ head.   I used a reverse 
spiral drill.   I also heated up the head with oxy-acetylene torches, and 
I had soaked the broken studs with penetrating oil for a couple weeks.  
Only one (out of about 8 that were broken) gave me much trouble, and that 
one will require an insert.   I don't know how you guys do this on the 
car.    That would be a major PITA.   I had my head clamped to the 
workbench while I drilled out the studs.  I _know_ what you're 
thinking... "no wonder he had a hard time with it!"  :-)

	Special thanks to Brendan Rudack for his help.  He's a great 
kid!  (Right Scott? :-)

	I saw and rode in the new PDQSHIP.  Black, no badges, and 16" BBS
wheels make this one _baaaaad_ Avant!  It runs pretty well too (at least
it will when he gets some more fuel)

	If anyone will be in the Detroit/Flint area next Saturday (June 
27th) there will be an Audi gathering at the Border's Books here in Flint 
from about 8:00 until whenever.   All are welcome, and as a special 
treat, a fantastic local jazz trio, Jazzmatazz will perform.  Two of 
their three members drive Quattros, so that is why we support them.  :-)

:-)  :-)  :-)

Later,
