My shields are falling off

[RuggedH2]

Yeah, common.

My dealer forgot to put them all back in, twice now. They have replaced them both times, after I pointed it out to them.

I inspect them now before I leave.

Lucky you, they only forgot to tighten yours. My dealer stole mine.

I had a rattle underneath and found that one of the bolts had worked itself loose, conspicuously after an oil change.
Since it is hard to find the matching bolts, it doesn't hurt to put a wrench on them after any maintenance or off-road trips.

Front shield needs removal for filter access. 2nd sheild for oil pan drain bolt access. Both shields need to be tight and placed back correctly. Front overlaps back and each have expansion hole slots.

Carry a small tube of Locktite with you next time and hand it to them. The dealer should know and do this and torque to specs or I would not let them work on it. They might leave out something important sometime if they are that sloppy. I would hate to have them replace the head!!

I only take out 3 bolts and loosen the ds middle and front.
I always double check tightness,they havent come loose yet.

I also check the nut clips to make sure there facing back not twisted over to the side.

Bolts do not require loctite or any other brand of bolt adhesive. Just make sure they are torqued to correct value. I do my own oil changes, and makes to torque all bolts to spec, and even on these pot holed streets of MI, and off-roading, I have never lost a bolt.
Torque for all bolts is: 20 N?m (15 lb ft)
