HOLY DIRTY ENGINE BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!

go to the hardware store and buy a 5/8 bolt... no longer then 1"... screw that bad boy in there... itll thread into the back of the head

went to autozone, they had some bolts but nothing even close to what i needed. i guess i'll fab something up again.

and yeah, it is a dirty engine. lol, maybe one of these days i'll get around to cleaning it

autozone won't have the kinda stuff you need to "afro-engineer" anything. just go to a hardware store like suggested and try the short 5/8" bolt. that'll be a LOT easier than trying to make some dumb plate work, and it'll do a better job
