    Mushman, I drilled the threaded end out and used a longer bolt (grade 8) with nut and washer. Much more clamping force than just the 6 mm bolt run into the aluminum threaded cover. You will have to machine a 'flat' for the nut and washer to 'seat'. I agree with changing out the 'O' rings if you havn't. ANY time you have the head off....good idea to do the small machine operation job so to use the bolt and nut 'fix'. Good luck, Terry.

      Thanks to all of you for all the helpful replies. If this baby drips any oil this year it's because I haven't been paying attention. Happy Holidays to you all and peace to you and yours this new year. Now go out and have a great grinning ride!

      Again thanks,
      Mushman
