Low Idle M103

Thanks for the response. I think I got lucky, was able to clean the threads with a tap and torque the bolts to spec. Hopefully tapping the tread did not jeopardize safety with the 20mm spacers.

Nope, no exhaust in the way at the front. And pretty sure I would be able to do rear as well with the exhaust in place. This is with the 300SE, the V8’s might be different.
