during an upgrade for my 98c adding an expansion chamber i broke my power valve well i didnt exactly break it but i stripped the threads in it to screw it bak in which really sucked i thought i got through the hard stuff took alot of work with the screws and whatnot so i was mad when i thought i was done and just puttin it together to find out it was damaged luckily there sendin another power valve but do u think i can still play with 1 screw holding the power valve in for now it seems to be fine right now

You should be fine. Just take it easy jumping around and what-not. And from now on use periods please! |

Using a single valve bolt will just tear out the threads on the non-damaged hole.
But if theyre sending a new valve, i guess it doesnt really matter. |

If you still have the other bolt for the valve, Try putting teflon tape
on the threads. Perhaps an inch and a half long, and fold it in
half lengthwise. I had the same problem, and am getting a new
valve as well, but in the meantime I did this quick fix, and the bolt
is in there as tight as it normally would be.
