but like I said I have to thank all you guys, all the advice that I got worked to get this done when I put it all together. Longer wrench, impound socket, some lube and a hot engine. Unfortunately I dont think these bolts would have came out when the engine cold. Im just glad I didnt break the bolts off! :D
Hey that's what most of us are here for. But like I said...don't ever tighten them.....make sure you use the Torque specs in the chilton's, and you'll be just fine.

Or you could just use the torque specs in TECHINFO. Lakeville likes trying to find it in chiltons...when it's right at his fingertips..

Thanks for the new sig Nate!!!!

might try some anti-seize on the bolts this time around.....

LakevilleSSEi May 27, 2005 02:14 PM
Anti seize is a good thing to use.

You're welcome for the new sig quote Bill LOL

BillBoost37 May 27, 2005 02:40 PM
X2 on the anti seize in this situation...but I bet he's already got the car back together.

Nate...thanks again...it's already changed again
