Hopefully Stuart Brainerd is able to extricate what's left of the bolt without destroying the threaded hole in the casting. I agree, it looks under-engineered. Let us know if there is room for a longer bolt there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 What I would do is , get a length of all-thread and bottom it out in the engine case and mark it where you can cut it leaving enough to install a lock washer/nut in place of the socket head capscrew . This way you will take advantage of the depth of threads in the engine case . Now when you use a stud you are pulling the threads instead of screwing the threads . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestion about substituting a stud is not a bad idea. Mister Brainerd is pretty resourceful, I'll bring it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
