I wonder if they can be machined for larger bolts that will not break. Any way - Great job! To Me, that is a huge hurdle overcome.

Thanks guys! One step closer to getting this engine in. I'm hoping, depending on my hoist availability, that I can try it one of the weekends this month. *Fingers crossed*
I'll definitely be using some anti-seize on the new bolts.
