Ugg hate it when stuff like that happens..
Was building a toyota 22R motor about a year ago... and was doing final torque on the head bolts (this is after a few heat cycles in the car.. so it was already in the car!!) ... and one... took the thread with her.. (wouldnt go to torque)... UGGGGG... makes you pull your hair out... (or what little some of us have left of it)

ITS ALIVE :-D :-D :-D helicoiled the barrel and got the motor to gether again. built it up so far. main jet 170, idle jet 60, needle m82r on 3rd clip, pilot air 1 turn out, putoline castor oil at 32:1. my experience of 500s is limited so please coment on the jet ect. it fired up first kick and ran fine on the stand. just got to sort the pipe a little, i am going to abandon the exhaust sleeve adaptor and weld it on. should be having the first ride by next weekend
