Excuse me, I used the wrong terminology. Thats still no reason to throw away good food because you dont like the plate.
The bolts deform and do not provide the holding strength they once did. I have personal experience. You asked for help, I offered.
It appears you have much more specific agenda than that which you suggested in your original post:
"
while I've got the 603 in my garage I want to do as much serious preventative maintenance as I can before it goes into the car."
this is serious maintenance. it is an issue. you have no clue how many stress cycles have occurred on this engine.
