There is a bolt broken off flush with the mounting surface on the bellhousing part of the block. It is the one above the starter. Just wondering if it will be okay to run it with one extra or if i should get it out? It looks like it was painted over so id assume it has been run like that before. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | ...if you can get to it I'd take it out. A little Kroil penetrating oil, a small punch may break it loose....
...of if you can get a welder to it put a nut over it and fill it in with weld. The heat will also help screw it out.
....or drill it and re-tap it.
(these will get you to thinking.
....it WILL run without it. Reminds me of when as a teenager I'd leave the top right bolt out of the trannys! | | |
