Anybody ever wonder why the MoCo chromes the crap outta the cam cover, primary cover, etc. and then fastens 'em with cheesy cad plated hardware? As far as torx, about the only thing I can say about 'em is they're better'n Phillips head screws.

RE: Stripped Out Torx Bolt
So,,,what's so bad about torx bit bolts and screws? I have used them for years with NO problems. I'd much rather have a torx bit screw or bolt than a Phillips head one. Actually if you look at it logically a torx bit drive bit has a good total area of contact with the screw or bolt.
