Evening all
Fitted blanking plate to turbo yesterday and noticed one bolt was easier than others to remove and replace it has been playing on my mind all day so got home and decided to have a look, sure enough it looks like its been cross threaded at some point so I've just managed to get it in just beyond finger tight, will this be OK????

It needs to be tight to make the seal

Is the bolt hole one of the easy ones to get to?? can tap it out an extra mil on sat for you if you get the bolt to match.
