Lug Bolts of engine mount

[Ken13559]

Stu, thanks for the tooth-pick & silicone idea. Done that. Couldn't get the Lug Bolt tight but it isn't coming loose at the moment.

Question to all is, how do I repair the hole of the engine mount Lug Bolt so that it can be reasonbly tight? Do I clean it out and I fill it with epoxy or wooden dowel plug?

Here is a link to a thread of a couple of years ago on the same topic. I participated sharing my experience/method. It's Post #6 in the thread. I haven't specifically checked recently that my engine mount bolts are still tight ... but I think they are. Been about 400 hours engine time / 5 years since my repair.

Also, my #11 has links to other sites about the topic.
