Hi Ron -
Your points are well taken, especially your last emphasized phrase. That gave me a round of the giggles.
I concur, insertions and removals of bolts do leave some thread damage every time, expecially where the bolt is much harder than the recipient metal. I have seen where over time and many cycles, the recipent hole is worn out of specs and is in danger of failing.
I should have known before writing to ask about comparing B&S metal alloys against China's Best. B&S certified alloys (probably traceable to to ISO specs) and manufacturing processes are certainly better than the "cheap as possible" combinations. Maybe I will remember for next time.
Thanks,
MikeJ
