haha, good advice. But if they really wont come out with a 4ft breaker...your probably screwed. You could try some PB blast and rap of them a little with a hammer to help it sink in and try again. Other than that you'll probably end up shearing the bolt head off or something.

 

constructive help only please, I do know how to use a wrench.

 

try cleaning them up from any derbis around the head of the bolt, clean the area well then spray PB blaster, coat the them with a spray every 5 min, and wait the 5 min exactly try it 3 times and clean up any excess oil from the pb blaster use your wrench try removing them now, if it still wont budge use the extention pipe on it. CAUTIN if you do notice that the head of the bolt is being shred stop do not continue as it will get worst take your car to a shop where they can loose them up for you with an impact wrench, well as a last resort that is. GL

 

Thanks for your response, I have already tried an impact wrench, At this point I think there is no way to get this head off. Looks like it is time to throw it in the trash. Any other ideas?????

 

try putting back in the head bolts on either side of them and tighten real tight, it might relieve pressure on the one you are taking out

 

i just had this same problem with my motor...i grinded the top of the bolt all the way down with my dremel and grinding stone...make sure you don't grind or touch the valve spring or else your gonna have to replace them...and then your gonna have to use new bolts or use arp head stud thats what i did...and make sure you clean the head really good after you done

 

Take a brass drift and knock the crap out of the head bolt straight down. Then use the impact wrench again and it should zip right off.

Make sure you run a tap in the bolt hole before reassembly to make sure the threads are perfect again.

 

Havent seen anyone show the cutting torch some love so ill throw that in there. Use a rose bud tip and apply heat the the bolt head about 35-45 seconds should be long enough. Then have a friend standing by with the breaker bar and extension to throw on there as soon as the torch is removed.
CLEAN HEAD BEST AS POSSIBLE OF OIL TO KEEP DOWN ON FIRE. worst case is you might ghave to replace damged seals around that bolt.

 

Oh yea! what order did you take the head bolts out? did you do the corect sequence?
