Its a reation from tge aluminum to the steal see it all the time on cars
and red thread lock can just ve heated wilth a little heat to brake it loose unless you coat the hell out of the threads it dosent have to drip off the bolts lol

What Jesse stated, I'm 99% sure was the reason. There is a reaction from steel to aluminum that is stronger than even red thread locker. It's caused with Aluminum Oxide that goes into the pores of the steel bolt thus locking them into place. with the heat cycles this engine has gone through, that is what I think happened. Heating it up allowed the aluminum to expand and breaking the bond a bit. I have it on video of breaking the bolts loose, and at first, I thought I snapped the head off of them with the sound they made. But, everything went downhill from there once I got the engine apart as everyone knows.

Are you hungry Lee? You should feed that appetite with, oh lets say, a new Goblin 770? :chuckles:

Freakin' awesome. Is the canopy a pain to take off and put on on these? I find the wrap around form of the 550 X Pro's canopy to be mildly annoying. Have to figure it is that much worse on the Goblin since the back flaps to back even further.
