You were right, Greg!
Jim Moncrief called me and told me he's shipping me another compressor. I'll take this one out and send it back to him.
Jim told me I should be able to torque the heck out of that bolt and not worry about it. It's unlike standard bolts... has finer threads so you get more biting surface. So it shouldn't have stripped the internal threads at all. He said that sometimes people put a bolt with the wrong threads in, and the remanufacturers don't catch it. The result is the internal threads are weakened.
Thanks again to everyone for your advice on this. I'm going to have to take a look at a helicoil kit now; you've piqued my curiosity!
