I may do it as a precaution...and I may not. It is good to hear that several people have not had an issue after using a new bolt! You know how it is, you only hear about the problems not the things that are going good! I have the new parts just waiting for the time to do it.

As I mentioned earlier mine had a new bolt and had loosened off. I think it was due to the cheap washer they used; it was just an average washer you get at a hardware store and the factory washer I have now is close to 3/8" thick.

I'm really not complaining much as the guy I bought it from thought it would need a new engine because he was sure it jumped time when in reality it was the bolt had come loose and allowed the two pins holding the sensor plate to shear, or were beaten to pieces, giving the plate the ability to move and that made the ignition "timing" off. I got lucky this time...I usually don't! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
