Hi

We are new to JTKM and had a very strange failure today. All four bolts in the base of the engine that hold the engine to the mount basically fell out with stripped threads. It's a second hand engine that we haven't run before. I've removed the mount after we bought it amongst other parts and cleaned thoroughly and re-assembled so I know they were tight. It's really weird, almost as if the previous owner has used the wrong thread profile?

Anyway, my question is, I am planning to repair the holes with a M8 heli coil kit. Does anyone know if this is a bad idea? If so, got any better ideas?

Thanks
