Not sure if this is the right section to ask but here goes.
All of the belly pans Ive been researching mount the M696/M1100 by using the engine case cover bolts on both sides. Does loosening/removing these bolts crack the seal? Is there a chance of oil leaks developing even if torqued back to spec?
I've never encountered a leak from removing case bolts for that purpose.
do one bolt at a time
Good to know, thanks all.
