First, let me thank everyone for the help I have already recieved. I am back at the rebuild after a few months of ice fishing. j75trlcsa As i was putting cylinder head cover back on, 1 bolt broke as i was putting it in by hand with a socket and extension--no ratchet. I took the same bolt out of the donor powerhead and it appeared weak in the same spot. It was the center bolt in the first row of 3 at the bottom of the cylinder head cover. Is this a common problem on this motor? and Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future?

Thanks
Chris
