New Oil pump installed...then pickup tube bolt strips?
So as title says I install a new katech oil pump for my lq9 build i'm doing now.
Set the torque wrench to 9 ftlbs and before it ever reaches it, the bolt will get kinda tight (maybe 4-5 ftlbs), then spin a bit, then hand tight, then spin, etc.
I'm trying to find out the best way to deal with this.
I don't want to have to send the pump back for a new one, or buy another.
Looking for a solution with current that is relatively easy.
The other bolt hole for the oil pump inlet should be fine, is there some way to flip around the bracket to line up to that one or something?
