When I went to pull the bolt out after timing it I noticed it was a little tough coming out. And now it wants to bind up going back it after a few turns. I ordered a new bolt, but my fear is that I damaged the threads in the crankshaft. I assume I can chase the threads if that's the case but it's not something I have any experience with. Any suggestions?
I wonder if the bolt bottomed out in the crankshaft and smashed the first couple of threads on the bolt. Hopefully pulling the bolt out didn't damage the crankshaft threads but I wouldn't think so. Fingers crossed
JARblue, Rusty and Rojoryu like this.
