Broke down my 1986 junkyard engine last week and spent a couple days
cleaning with mineral spirits and carb cleaner.  All toerances were well
within normal limits. 0.0005 step were max on housings. Rotor housings in
real good shape. Found the oil seal from the front housing the the front
cover split in two pieces. This must have been the problem as it is a high
pressure area. Chasing out the tension bolt holes with a 10mm x 1.25 instead
of 10mm x 1.0. OPPS!!! #$%^*#$!!!  :o :(   Picked up the wrong one out of my
tap and dye box. I think the threads are toast. Probably a big paper weight.
Any suggestions.
