Topic: Stuck bolt got me stuck..

[materializer]

Hey, by the way, Monk, if this motor is going to be the heart of your wife's PS Homage bike, cut that bolt and throw it away. I'll turn you up some stainless hangars with ARP 12-pt nuts for maximum sex appeal 

CAL,

Mighty sweet! I'll give up on the bolt then and mill out the remainder when I overhaul the engine. I figure the fitting on that particular boss doesnt need to be tenth of a millimeter precise..

  So you saw the start of the build thread then yes my wife thats the most caring creation in the whole world and gives me every bit of freedom to pursue my compulsions deserves her own crutch rocket. If I can be the creator of her happiness, let it be done !

Do let me know where to donate any cost involved with the bolts, I'll wire you that dough straightaway! I'm in holland btw.

Kind regards,

Monk

When you begin to pull apart that motor, you can choose to replace all the motor bolts with ARP 12-pts. They are really gorgeous, incredibly strong (much stronger than needed really) and are made of a very high grade stainless. They will never corrode, tighten up beautifully, and will create a "jewelry" look to your motor (something your most beautiful wife will appreciate  ).

I'll standby on cutting them because there's 1 or 2 more motor case bolts that you can not obtain in that fastener style. I buy all of mine from www.allensfasteners.com

The website is a bit clunky, so you need to scroll down to metric/stainless/then the head style (hex or 12-pt). Locate the diameter, then choose the length, then the quantity you want. If they won't ship them to you, ship it to me, I'll forward to you.

This is all assuming you choose this route of bolts... 

I live near Eindhoven Netherlands, loads of high tech industry here. So also the supplies in metal ware is really good! I know of a shop where I come regularly, they most definitely have the stainless ARP 12-pts stuff It is indeed what I have intended already Youre right way to go !

But if you ever invent a method for welding the 2 together, you'd be the richest man in the world immediately.

 A lot of extreme ideas. I'd just soak with your best penetrating oil , tap, heat and repeat. Spin this way then that way as soon as it will turn. I had a frozen one that I double nutted then turned it with an impact wrench while pushing on the end with a drift. Oiled, reversed, spun it back in to lube more of it then back out.
 Or dynamite.
