Default Used fast concerns... Pics inside sugesstions

Picked up a used fast 90 and NW Tb and it has some chips around the two front bolt holes. Each bolt hole and washer looks recessed like it was over torqued, are they made like this or has this one just had the heck torqued out of it?


Help and suggestions needed. I heard it run on the car and it sealed up but bothers me. Is it fixable? I took a pic of the old bolt washer to show how cupped shaped it was.

Looks like the cranked the crap out of it. You could try using a little bigger washer to go over the whole post.

Yea I think I'm going to do that and also I plan on jb welding/ sanding the chipped one on the front.

No way that was 89 inch pounds lol. But then again I picked this up for about the price of an ls6 so I can't complain.

You might be able to take it to a machinist and have it bored and sleeved with steel inserts. It might cost you a few hundred, but it would be a good fix.

Looks more like 89ft-lb than 89in-lb!

Yea that's a good idea but I think I'm going to go the cheaper route epoxy and see how things turn out first. I will post some pic of how things turn out.
