Subject:      Oh No! Misthreaded exhaust bolt?!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


In the continuing adventure of changing the coolant in my '88 Westy,
because I really like the look of the blue VW coolant, I was reattaching
the splash guards over the heads ( the ones that cover the head drain
bolts) and I am afraid that I have misstheaded the exhaust bolt for the
cylinder that is above the oil filter. I managed to get the bolt about
1/2 way in before I noticed that it was not going in straight.


Now what do I do? Have I just destroyed my new rebuilt head? (The one on
the Westy, not mine)


Thanks,


Todd
'88 Westy




P.S. Let this be a lesson to never rush a job because it is getting dark
and raining.
