[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2942865, member: 118823"] Well I set it up in Marine Tex last night. Jerked it out this morning before leaving for work. I got lucky that some pushed up into bolt lug area through the screw hole but it didn't bond to anything. I torqued it down to 12 in lbs over night. I also discovered that I only had a thread or two on the front screw engaged. So I ran the screw through to force out glue in the screw thread. (I used plenty of release agent) Now as I have thought about it today I may have not used enough torque to pull action down in deep enough. In other words I may only get about 2 threads in contact as I try to torque it down. Probably have an 1/8" of marine Tex on top of aluminum block. Worst problem is that I may have to find a 1/8" longer screw get enough threads to torque it down now. Marine Tex is not going to compress. Is this front screw a 1/4 x 20 thread? [/QUOTE]
