I'm doing an h23 head swap onto my f22 block and have all the parts to finally do it. well I started to take the head apart to replace the gasket and what not and one of the bolts snapped off in the head. ***profanity goes here*** what do you guys recommend that I do to get it out? take it to a shop or attempt to ezout it?

 

Happened to me.. And hated it..
^^Make that a few times..

If you feel compfortable drilling it out, do that and EZOut it..

Otherwise, I guess you'll have to take it to a shop..

OH! And be sure to get all new bolts for the head there, or you'll be going through this again... TRUST ME!

 

i did this a few times also...
dril it slowly and striate and ez out it

Took the words out ma mouf!

 

alright i'll give that a shot. does arp make head studs for it?

do they make an ez out that long to get it?

 

actualy...ARP does make head studs for your application

 

hell yea, def gonna pick those up since i dont want **** to break in the head again ...

EDIT: the head studs are what I want to replace the bolts that hold the cam caps in place, correct? which are the arp ones that bolt the head to the block?

head studs are head studs which arent what you broke off.

however, arp will make anything you want for the right price, but all you should need is a little antisieze on them threads or even oil and you should be fine. just dont overtighten.

 

H23 ARP head studs are also what you use for the F22 block
just to add my 2 cents.....

 

that sux! sorry to hear that and good luck man....keep us posted.

 

I would also try removing it yourself , just be careful and good luck!

 

good to see someone is making an H/f hybrid.. just try to ezout it, after that if no luck take to machine shoop. and arp does make head studs that bolt the block to head.. but i don't know about bolts for the cam caps.. you can ask them

 

yeah i was inspired on here to make the h/f hybrid and want to finish it. i've run into so many problems though it's not even funny. this is head #2 and that bolt is the only thing holding me back. damn I just want to finish this ...

 

dont give up, just be patient! good luck

 

^^^^ exactly!!!! I'm going to go ahead and pick up a helicoil kit to use to fix it. I'm not going to be able to get an ez out waaaaaaaay down in there I dont think. lmk what you guys think ...
