[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 1230689, member: 956"] [FONT=verdana]Not loose at all. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Threads look great, good coverage of anti-sieze, no corrosion, even 3 years after engine transplant. No evidence of frame cracking. I'm thinking the pinch bolt might have been tightened first, then engine bolt. Some hoehandle tech probably did it wrong when the transplant engine went in. Of course, I would NOT know who that hoehandle might be... :whistle: (moi) This is just a guess. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]It's also possible the engine shifted just a bit.. This FJR gets a little rougher treatment than most due to 6 miles of washboard dirt road nearly every day.. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
