Re: Supercharger Fill Hole Bolt Stripped
I got my ARP torque converter bolts, 7/16-20 x 1/2", which on paper should be perfect. I go out to the garage try to put one in, it doesnt go. The bolt head is larger than a regular Grade 5 bolt and so you cannot get it to thread in.
So at this stage, it appears than an O ring and the 7/16-20 X 1 bolt I have will have to work. I think Im going to take a dremel to it and cut about 1/2" off and then find an O ring and give it a shot on my car.
I'll keep you posted as to how everything plays out.

rut-roh Rorge!
how much to big are the heads?
Re: Supercharger Fill Hole Bolt Stripped
Its not by a huge margin they are too big. I would be more than I would want to try and machine or clearance for, and given I already have a bolt that works, I'll just modify it length wise and be done with it.
