My point is, back in April, I had one hell of a time getting the OEM bolts & nuts "removed" when I originally did the engine mounts. I used BMS gaskets, bolts & nuts set. I ordered two sets at the time. So, I am using set # 2 now. I am just thinking how I could make my life easier when I go back in there, in a couple of years, to do the turbos.

I live in Michigan & we use Salt very liberally on the roads, during the winter months


Your thoughts....,
