It happens - it happens even when you are careful too. I've seen threads pull when you remove the bolts because they corrode and seize to the front cover.

I sold my last truck cause it gave me so many problems, just said f*ck it.

And guess what? My new (to me) truck has just as many, if not MORE problems!

Now I REALLY miss my old truck.


Just keep with it man.

I had to learn early about over tightening bolts, seriously start using a torque wrench until you get used to what different amounts are, and some things never go without the torque wrench

First bolt I learned on was a rocker arm bolt, had my torque wrench set at the wrong ft lbs, and POP!

Lucky it just snapped the bolt in half.

Just think about how much your learning. I enjoy seeing younger kids ACTUALLY work on projects.

That's true... my parents said they don't worry about me doing drugs, because my mom sees my bank acct, and she KNOWS I don't have the money for it, because all my money goes towards the truck LOL

Thanks man

Zac I wouldn't worry too much about having an egt probe with stock injectors on an obs. Get the tunes just don't hold it to the floor pulling a trailer up a monster hill for 5 minutes and you will be fine.
