Broken off in the head, not poking out enough to grab it, what can/ought I do to try and remedy the situation?

Also, anyone got an 8 valver or d15z1 for sale, ?

 

cant you drill it out? I thought that was a method?

 

I'm think, I might try it if I can borrow the tools, but otherwise I think I'm just fucked because the tools would be more than the engine and it's an awfully thing bolt and were it broke it's kind of domed so it might be hard to drill well,

 

You could try left handed drill bits
or conventional drill bits with a screw extractor..

Sometimes you can drill a hole in the bolt and
tap a torx-type bit into it and use it as an extractor..

 

Sweet, thanks for the LHDrill bit idea, think I can pick one up at home depot?

 

Possibly..
It might be more of an "automotive specialty item"..
I got mine through Snap-On and really got reamed.....

Soak it with penetrating oil like P-B blaster and surround the area
you are drilling with grease to help catch the metal chips..

Also "center-punch" beforehand it so the drill bit stays centered in the bolt...

Good Luck bro..

 

Thankee-thankee, I'll call around and see what I can do, I can prolly stop by the old shop and have one of the guys gimmee a hand if I'm stuck for tools.
