OK, so i was trying to replace the gasket on the valve cover when taking off the bolts 2 of them snapped inside and one is completely threaded. The ****in dick of a owner that had it before must of either lock tighted it or was a ****in retard and forced it in. Either way im ****ed right now and i'm stuck on how to get the damn things out. Any idea's would be ****in great right now.


Shorten Version: Bolts broke into head when taking off valve cover now i need a solution to take the broken bolts out. It broke also to where u cant just dremel a straight line and twist it out... its INSIDE the head.

have kinda same problem i broke one last week paintin my cover but i just set it back in there and the rubber bushing thing kinda holds it in for now...no oil leak yet lol

thanks for reminding me i needa get mine fixed to....im sure a shop could do the job for you

got my car with locking lug nuts and had a shop get em off for me ...i know its not quiet the same problem butttt shops usually know how to fix things better

Yah, i just didnt want to have it towed there then come back its going to be a arm and a leg... for that i might as well get a new head for $230 bucks ???

Drill, EZ kit, and new bolt.

thats what i was gonna say but if hes asking the question he might not trust himself (like me) to do it and have a chance at ****in it up some more....but im sure they wouldnt charge 230 to get em out for you....depends on what 2 bolts they are might be safe to drive it up to a shop....i drove 300 miles this week with 1 broke

left handed drill bit, ez out. or drill it out and tap the threads or drill it and helicoil it.

idk if it'd work, but I'd try just snugging the two up that are still there and Hondabond the cover down.

loc tite high temp gasket sealant would be a good TEMP fix so you could get it to someone you trust to drill it out.
