broken main cap bolt
I was finally tackling the massively leaky oil pan on my 86, and following the write up by willeyjoe.62, it came out surprisingly easy. Much to my dismay, I heard a "plunk" sound while trying to get the pan out. Turns out, one of the #1 main cap bolts had broken, and I guess just sitting in place, being held up by the pan. It looks to have been broken at least for a little while, and I didn't get forceful enough to break it today.
The bearing seems ok, at least good enough to reuse, so I got lucky there.
I am in need of 1 #1 main cap bolt. It's a presumably 86 4.9 300, in a 2wd f150. I know this isn't the original engine, but it was a direct swap.
The rest of the bolt is sorta loose in the hole, so an easy-out should do the trick. Does anyone have a trick, other than an easy-out?
If you have an extra main cap bolt you'd like to sell, please PM me or email me at olds.gbody@comcast.net
