thedurf Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 ya, so i finally got my she running great and i notice she is leaking some coolant fron the head gasket...ok, this sucks but not horrible. So i check the head nuts to make sure they are the right torque. and of course the first one i touch just keeps fucking turning. So now the bolt will just keep turning and won't tighten. Obviously crossthreaded. Is there any other option besides a coil? Cuz the shop that did the engine work did the same shit when i bored the cylanders, and THEY are the ones that put the engine back together. Anybody got any ideas?

thedurf Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I'm definitely planning on taking it back, but just curious....what is thread tape? Could it be used in this case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 The only thread tape that I know of is Teflon Tape. It is used to seal up bolt threads and threaded pipe fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedurf Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 where would i be able to get the tape? I'm trying to take care of this problem without having to drop off the quad for weeks again. Anybody got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Teflon tape is not going to help you out at all. If there is nothing to grab it will still spin. You are going to have to tear it down and Hei-Coil the damaged hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
