Alright well today 2 of the bolts holding the valve cover on cracked when my freind was putting the cover back on :roll:

If anyone has one of the long bolts and one of the shorter ones please let me know ASAP. I'm pretty sure they are all the same for all of the D motors but if it makes any difference I have a d15b. Thanks!! :thumbup:

I probably have some if i dig. Also, are you sure the bolts cracked? I cant see the bolts cracking without destroying the threads on the head. If it did destroy the threads you're in for a fun ride, exactly what happened to me haha.

The threads cracked off. I pulled the valve cover off...I took an air drill with a small ass metal bit on it and drilled into the bolt after I put rags all over everything so the shavings wouldn't get into anything.....It bottomed out the part of the bolt then started cutting into the threaded portion of the bolt. I then took a small square head screw driver and a rubber mallet...hit the screw driver into the hole that was drilled out and then used that to unscrew it like a regular screw so the threads were left in tact :thumbup:
