Message: [QUOTE="FN74, post: 1010014, member: 1247"] You put that so much more elegantly than I ever could. I figured it was time to bring this thread back to center anyway- Supposed to be about Kicking the 6.4 Crack Habit Maybe it's just me, but after several threw around the idea of how to use a whole block from second cousin(Maxxforce), I didn't think borrowing studs from older brother was too off the wall. :shrug: Morgan- Sounds like you have had some good luck at the 225 point, without the nuts coming loose- which Charles provided a great image using the chain scenario. Have you ever checked a 225 nut after say 5K miles to see where the torque is at? And any luck with an R&R on the heads without causing cracks? If I'm reading this thread right, most can get away without cracks once, but never twice. While the helicoil may not do anything for wall thickness(or lack thereof) I would think using the smaller bolt would at least shift the shear force of the bolt slightly away from the valley and toward the center of the deck. Alright, tear it up!:thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
