Thread: I was an idiot and broke it. What's the best way to fix it?

    I was an idiot and broke it. What's the best way to fix it?

    Ok, I wasn't paying attention when I was bolting my engine back together. I waaaaaay overtorqued the bolt in the end of the cam and turned the washer into a nice bowl shape with a ground out section where the bolt dug in.


    What can I use as a replacement for that washer? Does anyone have a spare? Can I just go to the hardware store and find one the same size and bolt it right in?

    The bolt and washer are special. The head on the bolt is shorter than standard so it doesnt hit the timing cover. I doubt you'd find a heavy enough washer at a hardware store. They are available at a Mopar dealer or

    If you need a tool and don't buy it...
    you'll eventually pay for it...
    and not have it.
