I bought an h23 head and started to tear the head apart to replace all the seals and what not and in the process, one of the cam cap bolts snapped off in the head. Is there any way to get them out or should I just take it somewhere and have them do it?
here’s a pic of where it happened. I couldnt get a good enough pic to show where it snapped … but it’s in there …
geez john cmon already. this just happened to joe (intense98rt) and he thinks hes gonna have to drill it out and get a helicoil
i know nick, i just cant win lol
edit: the rents want me to start thinking of parting out the car since it looks like i’m never going to get it done …
^john fuck that. put the f22 head on now since its still useable. put the interior back in, set the car on the ground. its done. fuck the h23 head swap now, you keep trying to do too much at once while your in crunch time. stock FTW for now, otherwise your going to hate yourself forever for fucking up something you have invested alot of time and effort into. just put the f22 back to stock and call it done, i tried to tell you that before but then i came over and the head was off again. get it working the way it is now until yo uhave the h23 head ready to go on, and then take a day or two to do the swap. you will thank me later. just finish the damn car so it can at least be driven
well, we took this head and the previous fucked up h23 head to hybrid to have don check out. both are junk. time to strip them down to bare hunks of aluminum to cash in at the scrapyard. then he has to get yet ANOTHER head
