[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 490754, member: 13975"] I need some of those lathed out fasteners! Pretty cool. I have a project Mercury 25 with low compression on one cylinder and I am about to tear it down and see if its scored or if the chrome plating can be salvaged by removing the aluminum transfer. But before I got into that I found that the thermostat cover had a bolt also broken off but it sheared off down in the hole. I am terrible at getting my pilot hole centered but it didnt shear off very deep so I may be able to use a larger drill bit like pappy said and have good results. I probably need to invest in some left handed cobalt bits. [/QUOTE]
