Dr. Bert said: (quoted from post at 17:08:31 02/07/12) Tractor Vet: Are the holes in the clutch housing countersunk so that more than a 1/4 inch of bolt sticks through or into the backing plate. Is there enough wobble in the bolts to let the rear end of the block sag while rolling it forward and possibly breaking the front engine supports?

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
