So i bought a 30DN 5t clone a few months back had nothing but trouble and ended up having the motor out of the car three times (faulty coil, clutch bell wasnt alinged right or something and snapped and then i didnt set coil gap right so out it came again but anyways thats sorted) and all three times i stripped atleast one of the engine mount screws, i feel that i had barely any threadlock on there, any suggestions/ fixes. Though about putting cap screws in there but don't really want them sticking out the bottom of the chassis.

many thanks Ollie
 
Try heating the bolt with a little blowtorch before trying to undo them, only need about 30 seconds of heat then they should come straight out.
I've had mine in and out numerous times, even replaced them 4 or 5 times in the 2 years I've owned the truck.
A little heat always helps with threadlock.

brill thanks, honestly never thought of that even though ive got a gas soldering iron with a blowtorch tip, will also look at getting the fonzie sliding mounts i think because they're cheaper and probably better than the stock inserts which are a bit buggered from drilling multiple times.
