It's no wonder why that thing twisted right off..

I know how you feel with the ****ty quality of monitoring equipment, I have 7 auto meter gauges and 5 of them are bad right now, they're about a year old.. Half of them were $150+

Honestly starting to think it's not even metric. Matches perfectly to a 1/4-20

1/4-20 is the winner. Rural King saves the day

Didn't help it was grade 5. New bolt is grade 8

Hello beautiful

Stop, it is not a 1/4" bolt, that is why there is a problem...... Those are m6 1.0 pitch holes

So who's ass at RCD do I get to ****ing rip for this... bolt that broke is in a completely different hole then the original hole and cross threaded... no wonder the mother ****er won't come out

Certainly not an inch fastener. Motor is all metric.

Also using a POS low grade bolt in a high heat cycle location will cause premature failure.

Dang now that is no good.

The bolt that came out was a 1/4-20 not metric. Matched identically to it. It did not match any metric sizes. Gonna drill it out and Helicoil coil it to a bigger size. I have room to play. Plenty of material on the manifold and hole is still big enough on the flange to upsize

Bingo. Gonna try a 1/4 helicoil kit. Time to hop on the bike and make the peddle on down to napa

so you're going to follow in numb nutz's footsteps?

Why not put a 6mm back in there like it belongs?

Patience. 8mm is going back in. Holes too big from being drilled twice.

If there's enough meat there you may as well go 8mm. You won't need a helicoil unless you really had to hog that thing out

It's getting an 8mm helicoil. Too ****ed up to go straight 8mm.

I was curious why the broken bolt didn't have a shoulder like the original bolt on the other side of the block off plate.

I'd be making some phone calls. No way something like that leaves our shop.

Well she's back together. Fixed the fuel leak at the cp3 too while I was at it.

Now has an 8mm not a grade 5 1/4-20. 8mm is the biggest bolt that would fit through the flange.

Thanks to Tadd from Elite for putting up with me. Asked a out a million questions today.

Going for a spin to see if she holds.
