tough bolts
I just had fun trying to remove a stripped out bolt on the duct funnel(velocity stack).I was just wondering who else had a bolt turn bitch on them.

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Those had locking agent on them from the factory, but Im sure yours have been out before.
I have often wished for graded bolts in all locations even though its not always needed

The part that stripped was actually the nut on the underside tack welded to the flat stock piece.With the spacer plate on and the Muzzy spray tubes inside the air box that don't quite line up,the bolt probably cross threaded when I installed it last.Drilled and tapped it out for a heli-coil,and all set.I did have to use a belt sander to grind the end of the coil as it was too long.PIA! I'm slowly putting the motor in now.
