Re: Stripped Connecting Rod Bolt

Alright, can someone enlighten me? Where can i find this alleged "sonic weld"? I've been to every parts store around here and no one has ever even heard of it. Damn this bolt <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Re: Stripped Connecting Rod Bolt

just drill the bolt head with a drill a little bigger than the bolt shank diameter.

Question?

What if the actual bolt is stripped? I have the same problem but I don't know if the threads are stripped on the bolt or if it's the nut itself.

I think the answer to that is yes he would like an answer lol Seriously though, If you can't tell if or what part is stripped you should probably put the tools down and let someone else work on it.

lmao, yes I expect an answer all of y'all guys can respond and Clown so why not answer a question. I'm 95% sure it's the bolt but I'll leave 5% error else where it's a car, we all know it's not as easy as it seems.
