Hello,
I am hoping to get some knowledge regarding a "cylinder head cover bolt" that was not tightened and when the motor ran, simply striped and banged up the threads leaving shards of metal on the bolt and possibly inside the cylinder. I do not know much about the make up of the component and its inner workings.
Picture attached of Cylinder Head Cover bolt. The tread tip is sheared off and the nut shaped piece just below the threads has been marred and metal shavings were on the bolt itself when removed.
Any Recommendations if this is a minor or major thing and what may the best steps to ensure that we did not damage the cylinder?
Best,
John
