Vorlockfoss Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi all, How's things? I have an issue I caused today. I was tightening 2 bolts on my Crank Cover, to 8 Nm + 45°, and the back of not just one, but 2 screw holes 'pinged' off as I tightened the screws. Now, you could say that maybe I used the wrong screw, but they are all the same shape & size, so not sure what or why. Anyway, all that aside, as I was simply !Removed! the screw in to the hole, the back of a hole on the left of the Crank Cover popped off with a ping. It's a clean break & I'm not sure it will have any adverse affect, if any. I then went and did the same to another screw hole back on the right side of the Crank Cover...! I can only assume I missed 2 shorter screws, but I don't see how. It is possible that they both had a little silicone residue & the pressure simply caused the backs to pop off, I don't know. My question is, am I right in thinking there will be no adverse affect? Thanks all in advance, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
