Name that bolt


BlackMess

Recommended Posts

Finally got the black mess up and running and took the lady out for some ice cream. I'm sitting at a redlight and I heard a loud bang and see something shoot across the street. It has a 24mm head and gets torqued to 240ft/lb. Please name that bolt and explain how the hell it came off!

Damn AJ get the cookie! How the hell do I keep this thing from coming off again??? Since it was reused could it have stretched??

 

It is torque to yield and should be repaced, never re-used.

Motor was apart for the head/cam install prior to going in the car, that would have been the time to key it along with installing a new bolt. O well I had no idea it wasn't keyed that's why I paid a shop to do it so I woulnd't be broke down in a pizza hut parking lot. Live and learn. Wheres the most reputable place to buy a kit to key that crank??

Honestly must you keep taking pot shots at them everyone knows you are unhappy with them. Give it a rest.

I am honestly supprised they didn't. They are the ones that told me to do it, and had all parts in stock, when jegs was on back order.....

 

Would you happen to remember who made the kit? I've checked jegs and summit and can't seem to find anything.

However, the Post you quoted DOES have merit...

Only if a service was offered/charged and not done. At no point was that ever stated only assumed. In either case he's beating a dead horse this isn't the first post he has made about the shop. At this point if he is still having issues that should be between him and the shop.
