Default Thanks

Thanks for all of the responses guys, i did pull them this past weekend, i cut down the allen wrench, but the bolt still hit the frame. Dropped the motor mount and had plenty of room. Just waitin on new gaskets now and she will be runnin like a champ again. Thanks,

i had to heli-coil a front head bolt on my 90, after 800 miles the rocker box started leaking at the front. i could see that the middle had moved and yes i used new james gaskets and torqued them, i removed them and cleaned them applied a thin layer of permatix ultri grey to both surfaces, let it sit for 20 minutes the installed, well that was 7,000 miles ago and no leaks. the rocker boxes warp a little so there not perfect so you have to do something to make up for it.
