hello one of my arp head bolts on my z6 is loose its screwed down all the way. and there is oil in it. is my block still useable? here are pics tia

the one in the middle top

 

damn sucks. i would bring it to a macine shop have then weld it shut drill and the tap it. the resurface. if not heilcoil works okay

 

heilcoil?

 

What exactly do you mean by "loose"? Does the stud not thread into the hole anymore? If so then you might have to get a helicoil like "tvrsir" suggested. A helicoil is just a threaded insert that takes the place of the damaged threads. I don't know if I would trust a helicoil on a boosted motor though.

 

oh umm it threads in but it wiggles. if u know what i mean? u can't pull it out though its weird. my friend ran this motor on stock bolts and it didnt leak. so im not sure whats goin on just sckethcy

 

pull that bolt out and wrap it with teflon tape until it doesn't wiggle!
