      I take it from your answer that i redo the stator bolts with 242 locktite..my luck hasn't been very good lately .I can see a lot of damage being done if one of those bolts shake loose..better safe than sorry

        Bolts are known to both come loose and to sheer. I have used the blue locktite and I alway use a Qtip and brake cleaner to clean threads.

          From personal experience, please pull the bolts and put loc-tite on them

            Ditto.
            One of those few times where precaution is totally worthwhile.

              Suzuki used stator insulating varnish to lock the stator screws. Use the better Locktite. When you need to do it again if ever, I have found that sandbags with a towel in between to prevent scratching is the perfect place to hold the stator cover. It molds to the cover, but doesn't give so an impact tool works perfectly to break the screws loose again.

                  I know this won't help, but I did the exact same thing two years ago, and had to pull the cover again for that reason. I swapped in allen head cap screw fasteners at the same time.
                  and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"
