Crankcase front bolt

(1/3) > >>

Mr-Gear:
Hello all,

So I've just managed to knock the price down on my own 400f. See pic.

I tightened this bolt to 4ft-lbs, Perhaps too much? and that piece pinged off somewhere in the room.

are there any recommendations to tart this up? Is this a big deal even? I would weld it and smooth it over but it depends on the alloy and the casting as to how well that would turn out and I don't feel like trial and error. Maybe someone else has tried? :P

Thanks, Ryan.

P.S. the hair line under the bolt is just a hair.

Is that a hole through to the bolt I see. Looks like the bolt in there is too long. I would take the bolt out and have a poke with a piece of wire to see if anything has pinged through to the inside. Then take a full thread off the end of the bolt. Should be a relatively easy fix if its not gone right through.

Iv'e had some success with an epoxy filler with metal in it.  Use the link below

Sorry Roy but I read that first line and it instantly took me back to my "O" Level English...

"Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee."

Sorry...

Yes, but what should he do with the dagger?
