does anyone have any suggestions on avoiding stripped holes and what not, cuz i deff hate these aluminum housings.

long story short i had bought my fc with one bad hole. now another has gone bad but its oky cuz the motor went to **** anyhow and im doing my 13bt swap! yay!

 

Use anti-seize on the threads and don't over torque. I've never had a problem.

 

ok kool thanks alot!

 

Use your fingers... Thats what she said...

 

i finger tighten it ( to avoid cross threading it ), then i tighten it slightly more with a rachet till its snug , dont over tighten tho

 

Clean the threads thoroughly if you plan to reinstall plugs. Then apply a thin coat of anti-seize compound and torque to 144 in/lbs. Can't go wrong.

 

I read that twice in disbelief until I realized it said inch pounds.

 

bahahahahaha

 

but in all seriousness, (and as everyone above has stated) use your hands to start them.

 

grease works as well
