[QUOTE="RavFJR, post: 1438341, member: 20575"] Aside from the torque spec, I personally hate manufacturers using aluminum as a threaded means to hold anything on an engine. Between the heat cycles, vibrations, and hardness of the fasteners (threads), I'm surprised there aren't more issues. More specifically with these bolts, fine threads aren't the best to holding things together in the environment I have described above. I believe my little trailer journey proved this hypothesis. Let me tell you, roads in the U.S. are in bad need of repair. The trailer was jumping around quite a bit during the trip. [/QUOTE]
