Hey DWC...what would you do?
I have a bit of a problem with my dakota....I have a flex plate bolt hole that is stripped out and wont hold....the other 3 are in good shape with locktight on them. Im wondering if I should Helicoil the 7/16" bolt and forget about it...or JB weld it (then drill and tap it) or should break lose the other 3 and drill and tap all three for oversized bolts (and grind the heads down so they dont hit the bellhousing coverplate). For me the first two arnt a problem, I dont think the shearing force that the flex place puts on these grade 7 bolts would be so much it would cause a problem. I really dont wanna have to drill and tap all 4 though.

I'd drill the the stripped hole and flex plate to the next biggest size and retap it. The bigger bolt wont weigh enough to cause a balance issue. I've done it before on some older cars with 360's and that balanced converter with no issuses.

very minor...........
Amen.........
I have my own therory on on that. Everyone knows what a fluid damper is. On the rear of the engine the tc acts as a fluid damper for the rear of the engine. Just thinking out loud.......... |
