Stripped Threads on New WP (T-Stat Neck)

Water Fill Housing Bolts (T-Stat) Stripped threads on a new water pump I installed because it aren't real M6 x 1 x 25 bolts. I torqued them to 13 ft-lbs (spec 11) along with the blue threadlocker because I've found from experience that the bolts can work themselves loose (I tow this truck and the engine is under heavy load). ). They should not be removed with +2 ft-lbs of torque. Урок, который я усвоил, заключался в том, что эти болты, головка которых меньше, чем у OEM, имеют тенденцию вызывать проблемы с резьбой OEM - у меня была еще одна покупка (в розницу) для болтов для моего масла кулер, и там произошло the same thing. From now on, I'm avoiding "mini" hex head screws on all my vehicles. That's why I rated it 1 star. They may be plain steel, but if they're the wrong thread pitch, they're useless.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other samples
