cross threaded / stripped far side valve cover bolt HELP
« on: July 08, 2015, 04:48:12 PM »
I seemed to have a stripped bolt at the farthest side of my cb550 valve cover the one that holds that bracket that bolts up the little cover.

my question is what the heck do I do? i just got done putting the whole thing together torquing everything down.

Is this an oil passage? is it possible to tap it without pulling the head?

is there another trick to make it seal?

Im pretty bummed  :'(

i havent seen anthing on this..
