I bought my Eagle Engines IO360 in June of 06 and had it prepped for long term storage.When ordered I also bought the AEL22772-1 angeled oil filter adapter assembly (top mount faces down to drain) I hung the engine Thursday and had to remove the filter for better clearance while installing, when I went to reinstall it I discovered it would not fit. The filter is about 1" to high and hits on the dynofocal mount top crossbar.
I called Eagle Engine and they informed me that that the early version was too short and a spacer was needed and $58.00 later sent me the needed part.
Problem is I have to remove a stud to install the new part. The extension is 3inches longer and they gave me all the hardware but I have to remove one stud first as it it too short. Everything else is a bolt except for this one stud. I heated the stud and did the double locking bolt trick and it did not budge. Before I use vice grips and snap it off I'm looking for advice on how to remove the stud without having to remove the engine. I have a good deal of access , I just need to know the best method to brake the stud loose.
I also wonder if there is a shorter oil filter I can use. They installed Champion aero spin on #CH48108-1. It's 4 3/4" long. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

At this rate I'll never finish
