Message	That would force you to use larger size bolts and you would have to change the size of the hole in the balance tube. With an m8x1.25 heli coil kit you to drill a larger hole. You then run your included tap through the hole to create new threads in the aluminum that you install a new set of threads(helicoil) in using the supplied install tool and then you can put the stock balance tube stud back in. This is a pic of the area. I fixed this hole doing what I just said and its strong and doesnt leak at all. AIM: EricTTZ
