Hi,

Thanks to everyone for their help so far. I'm having a problem with the new
locktabs I bought for the main cap bolts. Does everyone use these? I don't
remember them on the two engines that I tore down, and there are no used
ones in the parts boxes that came off these engines.

I'm finding it really hard to keep these things from spinning when I torque
down the bolts. Also they are producing very fine metal shavings where the
underside of the bolt turns against them. Thirdly, when they are finally
seated and the bolts torqued up they are really hard to bend up and I'm
afraid of slipping and hitting the crank.

Any suggestions???

Thanks,

Robert
