Another side plate leak
Hey all.
Removed the side plate to repair a leak that the PO let go for what looks like a long time. One bolt head was disintegrated, but managed to get out the other 7 with the help of some Kroil. What was left of the broken bolt came out easy enough with a screw driver and a dental pick. Planning on running a tap thru to clean up the threads and installing new bolts with a new side plate. There seems to plenty of meat left to continue using bolts rather than studs. Thick heavy scaling that I started working towards removing, will prime and paint. Any advice on sealant for the bolts or re-installing the side plate would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks |
