    This goes along with my Compression Test Results post that I have, but I wanted some opinions on this issue....

    One of the head bolts has the sheathing cracked and splitting, with some corrosion on it, is this something that should be of concern?

    Here's a picture, tried to post a pic, but to no avail...

    My theory on something like that is,"If one is that bad, how far behind are the others"?
    I don't know if Len (Chacal) carries replacements, but personally, for peace of mind, I'd replace all of them and any other hardware that stops and makes you think, "Hmmmm, that doesn't look right"

    cut the rest of the plastic off of all of them clean them up and see what you've got. if that's the worst one i'd say don't worry about it. once you start taking one out your committed and if it breaks off your real committed, then you get to do it 7 more times
