Re: head problem (zbower7)
It sounds like it stripped out the threads. These are in the block and that's not going to be an easy fix. You said you have all the other ones out, so you should be able to break the seal between the head and block and pull up on the head while turning the stripped head bolt. This should get it out but it won't fix the problem obviously.

Since your other post is going to take about 5 minutes for one of the mods to delete it I'll post the responce here.
I'd give the bolt out a try. It's only like $20 or something. Then you have a new tool as well.
