[QUOTE="MikeS, post: 679807, member: 18813"] I finally got to speak to Eric on this after 2 weeks of phone tag. Yes it got real hot more than once. Eric mentioned that the Suzuki cylinders have a hi silicon content. That makes them "gummy" even thread inserts are a pain to get to hold. I have given it one more shot at mending. I had some specialty studs made that are longer and they seem to go deeper into the extra long thread coils I got. I also used JB weld to secure everything in place. If they hold great we need one more 2 hour race than I could care less. thanks for all the comments and reading about my mess. [/QUOTE]
