Last week I over tightened the camgear bolt on my ZC and broke it, that took a huge chunk out of the day.

i usually break stuff too so don't feel like your the only one, but most of the time i just strip the ---- out of bolts.

I alway break something when I'm doing something I haven't done before, first time I changed my oil I stripped the bolt by tightening it too much so the threads were fuxored. right now I have 3 distributors sitting next to me, 2 obd0 and 1 obd1, the idea is to put the insides from the obd1 into one of the obd0 bodies. so far I've stripped the heads on 2 screws, but I got them out, my goal is to finish the project without breaking anything else, this requires me to spend some money on one of those things that you hit with a hammer and it turns the screw, I'll do it just so I don't break ---- and end up spending more money.

kevin #2, I rolled around without cotter pins in my ball joints for about a month after my b16 swap, then I put them in, is it really worth the damage to your car and the injury you and your family will sustain if your balljoint breaks, or the nut comes off? what if your daughter is in the car when that ---- lets lose and she gets injured or killed, is your $50 or whatever ball joint worth that much to you? I'm ghetto up to the point where safety is compromised, if my safety is put in danger then I'll do it right.

yeah broken ball joints suck, i broke mine on my lowrider one day while i was hopping down the street and my car landed onto the rim face down. talk about shitty.

sometimes i break ---- but for the the most part i dont. I just dropped a tranny and changed out a clutch, the only thing i fucked up was the pass cv joint. That bitch didnt wanna come out now the nut dont wanna go on... but a quick hit with the file and it will be ok.

Now who has extra bolts when they are done working on their car?

You removed the whole engine just to fill your mounts...?

projekteg

and replace the clutch. you know of a better way to fill all the mounts at once

willahlborn

Never tried to remove the rear mount with the engine still in the car. I don't know if that's possible. But the other 4, sure, just support the engine from underneath and the mounts remove straight out. The engine is reinforced enough by filling the front 4 mounts that i've never thought it was worth it to fill in the rear.

its possible but a lil time consuming

SkunT
