When I removed them the first 1/4" of threads were messed up on some of them. I don't know if I should just replace the messed up bolts or order a bottoming tap to clean up the ring gear. Any suggestions? I do need some new bolts though... Russ:) Last edited by bb74swngr; 01/14/11 11:32 PM. BigBlock 74 Swinger

They took the correct torque so should be OK. Some pretty crappy quality control from Mopar. Quote: Installing a SG in a formerly open 741 chunk.

I tried using a punch to mark the two bad holes and flattened the punch each time...that is some hard stuff. You saved me some $ on taps and I really appreciate the time you took to comment. Take care:) Russ... Quote: I bought a quality bottoming tap and it wouldn't even scratch that steel. I had to grind the bolts shorter and reuse them. They took the correct torque so should be OK.
