I'm working on my KX500 project here today and I would like to remove the cylinder base studs from the cases.
Are the studs in these cases threaded in and removable, or are they cast in place?
I've tried putting substantial torque on them and even applied some heat to one with no luck breaking them loose.
Rather than break a set of nice engine cases that aren't available I'd like to hear from anyone who knows for sure they are removable.
Thanks!

Most case studs come out, but I'm a bit more careful around vintage stuff that's out of production.
"Look before you leap".
I'll go for the "oil that creeps" and a little heat around each stud.
