ok so when i was trying to time my dohc zc in my civic the belt just wouldent tighten so when i went to tighten my belt tensioner the bolt would get a little tight then loose aagain so i pulled the bolt out and there were aluminum shards on it. soo im guessing the threds in the block got stripped out. what should i do?
pack some quick steele in the hole and drill and tap that? [= j.k that was just an idea off the top of my head. cause i cant get an oversized bolt because of the groove in the belt tensioner pully only fits one size bolt in guessing . UPDATE: well i got bored today and tried to put he bolt back into the hole and threaded out a helicoil. i was planning on putting one in it but i guess its been repaired once beore what should i do?

oh i posted this in 92-95 civic forum but no one would help. posted there bcause my ef is going to be gone soon. got a 92 hatch. need a smoother ride for the baby.

 

>:O cant get help in any fourms

 

should of called me to come over to edale and help. what do you mean the threads on the bolt had shards on it? when you tightened it, was the tensioner lose?

 

anyone?
