    Stud Bolt removal in engine cylinder / case - Good or Bad Idea?

    Stud Bolt removal in engine cylinder / case - Good or Bad Idea?

    Am replacing the base gasket and now cleaning the residue off the case.

    Considering removing the stud bolts to make cleaning easier. Good or Bad Idea?

    If I do remove them, any hints etc. on re-installation? Like thread lock, etc.?
    1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
    1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
    1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice

    I'd leave the studs in. They are quite troublesome to remove and doing so can damage them.
