stripped a bolt that holds the valve cover on...need help por favor
While changing my oil today, i got the inclination to paint my D16Y8 valve cover, so i did. While putting it back on i tightened one of the bolts too hard...and SNAP. It is the upper right one by the oil filler cap. anyway, does anyone know how to dislodge the stripped part of the bolt...i know i need to buy a new one, but how do u get the old little part that is in the engine out of the hole?
thanks guys.
thanks guys.
