Evo cylinder stud?
Took a basket case lower end in to a shop to get rebuilt.
Picked it up and the output shaft side case studs all have vise-grip marks on them(they were not there when I took it in).
I am thinking, you have got to be kidding me...............
Would it be wise to replace them?
one is worse than the other 3 with 2 sizeable burrs on it.
Really makes me wonder about the rest of the quality of the job.
Thanks in advance for any input.

The evolution top end stretches over .100 from cold to hot. Those studs have tremendous stress on them. Factory service info states that you must not distress them in any way. go ahead and vice grip them out ( or double nut them and back them out that way. They may be loctited red or green and you may have to heat them. You can use a head bolt for an install tool on your new ones. Just go to the hardware store, or bearing house and get a ball roller that falls into the head bolt. this will work as, of all things, a bearing to keep the head bolt from torqueing permanently against the stud. Just run it in, shoulder side down, torque to factory spec and remove the head bolt, don't drop the bearing in your engine, or you are a moron. (Like me)

Use this stud puller to remove the studs. I believe you can also use it to reinstall.
