Can anybody here say SAFETY WIRE?!!!

Bill Jepson

I was hoping somebody would say that.

 

Torque up the bolts.

Draw a line across the bolt head to indicate the correct hole vector.

One at a time remove the bolts and drill and chamfer the wire holes.

Reinstall the bolts, one at a time.

Torque the bolts.

Wire the bolts.

 

Bolt drilling blocks available from most tool suppliers and Hot Rod shops/Catalogues.  

 

Have you thought about those two crap bolts that hold the oil pickup tube onto the engine?

Shouldn't they be high quality socket head cap screws, torqued and safety wired together?
