wow I really messed up... what heilcoil do I need for the rocker arm bolts?
I was doing the LIM install on my 2000 Olds Alero 3400 and it came time to tighten the rockers back down... I looked at the walkthru and read 124 ft/lbs... I remember thinking, wow that's a lot of pressure full aluminum... but what ever
went to tighten it down and it pulled the threads right out in a coil...
I thought, ok maybe it's just one bad one... tried it again... same result...
at this point I am thinking... "huh, something is not right..." so I checked it again... turns out the rocker arms get tightened to 124 in/lbs (plus 30 degrees), NOT 124 ft/lbs
oops...
what helicoil do I need for the rocker arm bolts?
