Great Ideas, Thanks.

I talked to an MB mechanic, and he said that these bolts breaking is common, but not super common. He said, that since Ive had such bad luck with the other two housings, maybe this third one will work out for me.

Thanks, Ill try these things.

Ive got 2 sets of new bolts, and 2 sets of new gaskets for the W/P and housing.
