justa another rant... im pissed at myself....
so im putting my motor back together, i take a shortcut and reuse the crappy old valvecoverbolts until i tear it down again for new heads.. so im torqueing them down to spec. snap! grrrr... the top pass side bolt in the middle is now broken off in the hole.. i mean. come on! there is so little torque, how could that break! so i drill it, got a lil off centered, so off to autobone i go to get a 1/4 in. tap.. i pick up a cheap one, cuz i mean.. i only need it for once right? so i go home, screw it in, back it out, to clean the threads every once and a while as usual.. screw it in, back it ou.......snap!
im boned..
at least they made it good enough where you cant drill it because its hardened..
what are the chance ill leak all over my re-done motor with the center-top- pass. side bolt out of the valve cover?
