CageyH Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Other option is to go to the next size up if there is enough space to drill the stat housing out. I can't remember, and my stat is 3 hours away from me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_pank Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When I had a similar incident I stuck a longer bolt in so it stuck out the other side then tightened a nut onto the protruding end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil M Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 You may be able to back it up with a washer or two and cinch it up just as it reaches the tight point. A quick remedy pending further surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the responses - was a frustrating end to an otherwise successful day... Fil M - that's what I'm going to try today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why not spend the day pulling the engine out? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
