Wouldnt that ATF and or Oil run down the bolt and create that hydraulic bubble or pressure at the end of the bolt that everybody is worried about cracking the block?
I guess its not a problem Denmah, if you're saying you've commonly done this with no problems. I know most recommend to dry the bolt hole or you'll supposedly crack the block. I wouldnt know. I have always clean the threads.

No, that's why its called hydraulic pressure. It wouldnt have to bottom out. But I guess you may have to have more fluid in the hole to do this. According to rumor it would act like a hydraulic cylinder. The liquid at the end of the bolt hole would build pressure until it cracked the block.

Oh I completely understand what you're saying, and I'm not denying the possibility, I was just saying that I'm sure there's more room than you think down there. How else would they run the tap all the way down? I'm sure there's like 1/4 to 3/8 of open bore down there. That's just my opinion, no clue of its validity.

Either way. I'm not trying to diss this. I love it! I'm a risk taker though. lol Just thought I'd bring up the idea since it looked like a lot of ATF.

Yea, I expect that room at the bottom also. Which is why I guess that there must have to be more fluid in the hole to cause this problem.
