Question is, how to deal with each of these problems?
Above is the new hole through the cam cover. I plan to add a little Curil T to the spark plug cover bolt to help seal out oil. Reasonable idea?
Above is photo of broken bolt... And the broken ez out inside the broken bolt. Question is, how critical is it to get this out and have the spark plug cover secured by two bolts vs one? |
You will need to drill them out and install time-serts threaded inserts.
