Is it still worth doing doing the 5/16 bolt mod between engine and box?

I think Dave used to sell some uprated cap-heads and hardened washers. I used to run those. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I did it because a long established engine builder told me to! On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

I swapped to bi-hex bolts the same as used on the jet pipes of gas turbine engines due to access on tightening. Edited by Mr Joshua on 20th Sep, 2021. Own the day

I wasn't aware of this, makes complete sense. Will add to the list next time there's a need to split block and box. Always learning! |
