July 30, 201511 yr wondering has this happened to anyone before ? We're the bolt screws into ,to Hold the flywheel cover on has broke away . I still have the bit that broke off , I have been gluing it back on but it just keeps breaking again . What can I do ?
July 30, 201511 yr Thats bad news. I would clean all the epoxy off, then build up the area with metal epoxy making sure the epoxy fills in the hole completely. After the area has cured, drill and tap. The key is making sure to use good epoxy, clean material, and skuff up the material so the epoxy can adhere.
July 30, 201511 yr The two bolts left should hold it. I would run a bead of silicone all the way around the inside bead. Since it`s just a cover, the silicone should hold just fine.
August 1, 201511 yr You may be able to drill the hole deeper and re-tap and use a longer bolt in conjunction with plastic metal.
