    Blue pill or red pill = 675 or 920

    Cam thrust plate bolts

    plumkrazee70 You can drill a hole in one those bolts real EZ, if you have drill press. I have drilled a few, not hard at all, use a 1/8th drill bit, and center punch the bolt good. Deburr both ends of bolt when done. You can probably pick up a drip tab in the "parts wanted forum". Dave
