Hey guys,
Im getting a bit worried (just one of my traits
) about a stud repair i did with a cr500 stud for one of the 4 cylinder studs, firstly the hole i drilled was on an angle (about 3 degrees or so) so the stud now points out to the outside slightly (I have slightly enlarged the cylinder holes so it fits on) and secondly the threads weren't cut particularly well on one side as it was an old drill bit i used as the tap drill, so there is only about half the thread depth on one side of the hole and 3/4 is on the other side. I admit i did a pretty bad job on this 'repair' but it is all i could do at the time to be honest, It feels pretty secure when its threaded in (feels just as sturdy as the ones that are ok). Do any of you reckon it should be ok to to torque up to the full 20ft/lbs.
Thanks for your input in advance guys, hopefully you can put my mind at ease slightly
