I ordered some ARP fly wheel bolts from a very well known Ford Tuner for my ST170, whilst installing my aluminium fly this afternoon i managed to strip 2 of the 6 bolts out of the crank when tourqeing them up to 90ftlb. I removed the bolts and noticed that they were about 10mm shorter than the ford bolts i removed. Turns out they sent me Zetec E bolts which were wrong. I rang them because it was not clear in the catalouge which i needed. They told me Zetec E and sent me them. Bit late for that now, i should have checked really.
How can i salvage this, the engine is in the car with the box removed. Basically because the bolts were so short they only stripped out the first 4 threads (about 5mm) is it worth getting standard bolts from ford tomorrow and trying to tourqe them up with the 10mm of thread that is left and putting some loctight on em, or is it fucked 4 of the 6 bolt holes are fine, just 2 have the first 5mm stripped.
I have tapped the hole and cleaned the threads so what is left is fine.
I changed the fly myself to save £300 labour cost but this could cost me an engine
