So should M-B have used an 11 mm. longer head bolt?
ctaylor738, if M-B had used an 11 mm. longer head bolt, they could have engaged all the threads in the block and reduced the risk of stripping, n'est-ce pas?
I'm a noob, so if I'm wrong about this, please correct me. retro |

I'm not sure more that contact with more threads would help the situation. I've always wondered why the threads go bad in the first place.

Glavanic Corrosion
We had a similar problem with housing bolts on Submersable Aluminum Pump bodies that were installed in a 200 ft deep shaft to control shaft flooding and the maker switched to a similar treatment and 70% of the probolems went away.
The problem was getting the site techs to take the time to collect and toss all the old bolts during a refit. |
