Question:

How do I install a new valve cover stud(bolt/screw/double end threaded rod) to replace the one I snapped and already removed?

This is how my valve cover bolts work: Technically this is not a bottoming capscrew which implies the threaded end reaches the bottom of its hole. It is a shouldered capscrew where the unthreaded shank is a larger OD than the thread section. The capscrew threads into the hole until the shoulder hits the surface of the head, and will go no further short of twisting off the thread section or stripping the threads. Once shouldered the capscrews in unison hold the gaskets and the rubber collars on the capscrews compressed.I have been having a difficult time getting the rubber to meet the road (getting the screw/bolt to thread into the hole until the shoulder hits the surface of the head) or getting the screw/bolt to go deep enough into the hole to reach the threaded section and grab. Any useful suggestions so I can try again?

Ok so as i read this i thought of how to make it.. your going to have to make some holes in your ceiling tho ok first get some fans.. ceiling fans but smaller.. then depending on the size of fan, make holes in your ceiling, now your going to have to find a way to make an automatic opening window, once you find that out continue.. now instead of the fan pointing downwards point it upward so it acts like a vacuum to suck the smoke out.. then put them inside of the hole not out side your going to have to find some way so they hold, now here comes the alarm part.. you ll have to rewire the fire alarms to turn on the fans just like you would when you turn the ceiling fan on.. now instead of battery powered alarms use an electric powered so it wont last only 5 minutes.. then Connect the automatic opening window and test it out now i don'tin couragee your trying thiscauses idk if itll work but if i had the money id test it out..
Yes, a typical smoke detector is calibrated for the ionization of normal air in the sampling chamber. If water gets in there, including steam, it can make the alarm go off. Of course, the water may also provide a low enough electrical resistance to cause other electronic problems inside the detector, if not a nearly instantaneous short-circuit failure.
