Son said he hit a "pot hole" and his car started driving "funny" and making a weird vibration noise,,,

So upon further investigation I noticed the engine was riding on the steering rack,,,

All 4 Engine Mount Support Bolts broke,,,
Now I gotta get the remaining broken studs outta the engine block!!!

Seeing how I can only get 2 & 1/2 fingers, (not including thumb) in between Engine and Frame,,,

The conventional drill, heli-coil, extractor, EZ out, etc, etc, etc, is not an option without pulling Engine,,,,

Soooooooooo,,,

Jason-

What kind of torque does one put on an aluminum bolt... a footpound or two???

I'm sure there are specs (out the wazzoo).

.
 
Wayne-



Support arm to engine: 38 Nm, 28 lbs

Also most ALL the Specs I've read so far on the aluminum hardware Quote:

Product Details

"These bolts are "Torque To Yield" meaning once you install them, you won't be reusing them safely as they have stretched and won't return to starting length."

Jason,

It appears to be a chestnut oak.
The roots will begin to raise up your asphalt next, and then your house foundation.

Hey Marty-

Awesome Tractor Day pics!!!

Sweet,,,

Oh yeah, also looks like you Nailed It,,, everything we've looked up so far confirms chestnut oak!!!

And as far as the uplifting of foundation and bulging driveway me and momma went down to our favorite Thinking Spot and consulted w/ Mr Turkey,,,

All options and consequences considered we have decided to go w/ the tree huggers!!!

Thanks for the info,

Jason - if you ever do cut it down, save that large burl for someone that does wood-turning. Could make some nice bowls out of that.
 
Jason-

Think of it like this...if the tree has to come down someday there will be enough wood to supply brand new furniture for the whole house.

And I agree about the burls. They should always be saved for wood working.

The bad news is the tree has nothing else to do but grow. And it doesn't care that your house is right there. It probably has an attitude like "I was here first!".
