Thanks for the reassurance, I like braking the rules when it all works out.

 

Uh oh. I might have some future problems....

 

Old stator bolts with blue loctite. Engine with 125,000 miles. New bolts are cheaper and less time consuming than having to drill and tap new holes in the case. Additionally, loose bolts sheared and broken pieces took chunks out of the rotor magnets and then teeth from the starter ring gear.

 

Yours came out a little uglier than mine did, I had no starter ring damage. Those screws for the alternator plug retainer were the only ones I really had a headache over.
Y'all go ahead and use the old bolts if you must, I certainly won't ever do it again. Those #10's see a bunch of heat.

 

Wow,that really sucks. Hope mine hold until I rebuild my motor. Plan on replacing a lot of hardware with ARP.

 

Depending how much Mean Green you used, it might be easier to sell the bike and get another one.

 

Clean the bolts wire a wire wheel, chase the threads, reapply locktite, install. Good to go

 

 

Thats the problem, I don't have that much green but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn once.....Ok maybe twice......

 

I replaced mine with a new HD stator that came with the bolts already locktited. I used them. 25,000 miles since with no problem. I only used blue on the compensator sprocket, but no problem on that either. My son does not us any locktite on the compensator and never has a problem. We both use an impact wrench to remove and replace them though. On anything very big you need heat to soften the red in my experience.
