Keggor mod question

The bolts are NOT the issue, but why cut the bolts when you can go buy 15 grade 5 bolts 1/4-20 1/2" in length for about 2 bucks.
Intake bolts are not really TTY either when torqued to a whopping 12 ft lbs, while at hardware store just buy some stainless bolts with stainless lock washers, you can reuse them over and over.
That way when your steel plate pushes the gasket out you will not have to but intake bolts again...

BTW, I bought your plate.

I am assuming they sheared the bolts when removing not installing, the genuis that engineered the steel pan on the bottom of the intake also engineered the intake bolt holes that fill with water and corrode away all the way into the head.
So 1992 the kegger comes out, gaskets blow out left and right within the 2 years, obviously aware of the issue, Chrysler continues to replicate the stupid design for another 9 years even tho they made numberous changes to the kegger, guess they love eating the costs of warranty work. Must have had bigger issues like trannys going bad faster than plenum gaskets.
Thanks for the great idea for my next thread.

It's your truck and your choice to make.

I already fixed mine, using shorter bolts, but the way you said it makes it sound like you have facts to back it up. I am just curious. At the variations of temperature that these engines see, I really have a hard time believing that the difference in metal cooling time would be a problem.
