Stripped an engine mount screw

[Cupooterluvr]

I stripped one of the mount screw holes on my engine mount for the Picco .26. It's the one where the engine screws to, not where it screws to the chassis. Would it still be ok to run while I wait for a new one from the LHS?

You can run with 3 without any problems. Just make sure to use locktite and the split washers.

It's a good idea to have a few extras of these screws in your pit box.

Erm... I made a mistake in my post sorry. It was supposed to say the screw hole. The screw is fine but it just spins in the hole.

Either way, thanks. My LHS has a mount on order for me.

Ah, this happened to me too. I just used a different screw (Not the same as the other one I used that stripped it, This one took longer to screw in.), then it was fine.
