I JUST DROPPED THE CRADLE DOWN ON THE RX , I BOUGHT A NEW OIL PAN AND NEW BOLTS BUT 2 BROKE OFF AND ONE WAS STRIPPED. ALL THE REST WERE ALL GOOD. I COULD NOT FIND A TAP TO RETHREAD THE SAME SIZE SO I HAD TO GO TO A 5/16 -18 USA TAP AND DYE I USED REGUALR HARDWARE BOLTS ON THE 3 BOLTS THAT BROKE. THE BOLTS ALL BROKE IN THE ALUMINUM SECTION OF THE BLOCK. EVERYTHING WENT WELL WILL I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS BY USING A DIFFERNT BOLT THE FACTORY MAZDA BOLTS ?I'M LETTING IT SIT OVERNIGHT AND I WILL BE POURING OIL INTO IT THURSDAY EVENING LATE. I'M HOPING FOR NO LEAKS , I DIDN'T BOLT THE CRADLE UP YET JUST IN CASE. I USED A **** LOAD OF HIGH TEMP PERMATEX PROBABLY TOO MUCH IT WAS COMMING OUT OF THE SIDES OF THE OIL PAN. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A CHANCE IT WILL LEAK JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT YOUR EXPERIENCES WERE WITH BOLTS AND PERMATEX. THANKS!!

too much permatex is a bad thing. It will probably leak.



why couldn't you get a metric tap?

 

why couldnt you turn off caps lock?



and why can't you spell konig right in your signature?



no wonder you can't manage to remove oil pan bolts that are torqued to like 75 lbs-inch without breaking them.







damnit



maybe I should take a nap.

 

Easy killer.
