Exup valve....sheared bolt...rattles - the saga continues!
#4
Not sure what you're heating with the blowtorch? It shouldn't be the bolt though, it should be the exhaust section - as you want that to expand and the bolt to stay small (so to speak)?
Pretty sure I had the same problems as you with bolts shearing off - in the end I took the pipes off and took them to a small engineering works to be re-drilled and helicoiled, cost around £60 and in my opinion isn't really something you could tackle with a hand drill.  S
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
