Subject: Re: Would an Eagle crank have a different thread for the damper bolt? by SpectatorRacing on 2009/3/25 15:21:08 Thanks for the input. My hope is that only the first few threads were damaged, and I can either rethread them or drill out a few mm and have the remainder of the threads clean and usable. I can see that there is no obstruction (i.e. the old bolt broken inside) in the hole, but based on the LT1 configuration and the fact that it's an ATI damper (different than stock and impossible to see inside due to it's proximity to the rack) I'd rather mess with it out of the car. We're pulling the motor next week, I'd rather do it right then cross thread the snout. It is good to know that I can go up a size safely if I need to. The biggest headache is that I can't do it at home, I'm going to be overseas for 10 days and really don't have the time to do it. It has to be running for April 18...everything's a friggin rush job on this car. |
