I worked too long and too late today and ended screwing up. Replaced the injection pump and got everything together, lines bled and finally got it started. Ran great but started making intermittent ticking noise. then a loud clacking. Shut it off right away, and immediately knew my mistake. I had hand screwed in the drive gear nuts (I told myself not to put them in until I was ready to tighten them, but ignored myself) but forgot to tighten then, and all three came out. Fortunately the gear stayed on the pump, but the bolts are mangled.
Other than being 12 point, does anyone know if there's anything special about them? One bolt head not mangled says FC on it, but that's not a hardness code. Are they specially hardened bolts or what? Somebody on ebay wants 30 bucks for a set but I need them sooner rather than later.
