One more point regarding conrod bolts, there are bolts being sold now by "a big and renown after-market dealer" in Europe, that have caused catastrophic failure in a newly overhauled racing engine for a friend of mine. Bolts were fitted brand new by a competent mechanic. One start to wonder where they get their stuff from some times. There are many statements like "never from there again" being heard among the classic racing folks around here....
Our screws fit the conrods ! There are screws on the market where the factory forgot to finish these, leaving them unfinished and too thick to fit the conrod bores. But not only that, they are not perfectly round, affecting bearing play. We had them finished to perfectly fit your conrods. Of course this is a price issue, but Engine crank damages do not occur by coincidence. Our manufacture engines are equipped with these screws, without any damages, since we began ![/qu0te]
I put 1207B on the lower portion of the case threads (10 mm or so) from the inside with a cotton tip and blue Loctite gel to the upper portion of the bolt, the clean end of the bolt should wind into the sealer, the upper portion should should bond with the 248.I am still thinking about that cam plug, the flywheel will go on this morning so that window is closing and probably better to do it than not.
Its a new day of course and my engine is sitting on the bench, assembly stalled and had expected to put it back into the frame today.This photo is dated Friday, 2 August 2013, 12:21:16 PM and the engine would have been removed not long later after finding the grooves in the cylinder bores.I would not have expected a con rod bolt to hold things up, they are not something you sand or screw with to fit, they have a push fit to align the caps and hold things together.
