well i was just getting my b18b engine ready to be droped in my hatch to be boosted...i already had a built ls head from my last setup...so i was going to to swap the heads so that my built head would be on the b18b block...while i was taking out the head bolts 2 of them had broken off inside the block and i was like fu*kkk...but all the rest of them came out with a 5ft pole tomy 1/2 torque wrench and tugging since my engine is not in the car yet...just sitting in the floor

how would i be able to get the 2 broken off bolts out of the block?? i was thinking about taking it to my mechanic guy but i want to see if i can get it out myself

 

you need extractor drill bits but a autoshop can do it for like 20-30 buck

 

yea im thinking bout just taking it to the shop instead of me messing with it and messing up

yea you are better off taking it to a shop hell i woulnt want to mess something like that up

 

yea i know because i know that if i keep messing around with it,it might cost me double the $$$ to fix it..so im just going to have the shop doit for me

thanx jdmboi86

 

howd you brake them in the first place???
head bolts on that b18b is only supposed to be 63 ftlbs..
theres no way those would break unless over torqued or cross threaded...
good luck.

 

i know that they shouldnt have been that tight in there because i know the torque spec is 65-66 for the headstuds...but i got the whole engine for $100 so i have no clue on what the engine been through or the history of it...but the only thing i know is that the headgasket was blown on it...but i dont think that that would have caused the studs to be so stuck in there so tight that i had to use allot of pulling on the bar to crack them loose


its like buying a engine at the junkyard...you dont know anything about it

 

good luck probably better off getting a new block...

 

did the head came of the block?

 

yea i was able to get the head off the block...head look clean and so do the cylinder walls..i dont see any scratches or any types of scoring on the walls..i havent taken any pics yet cuz i had jury duty from 7am-5pm today and have to go back again tomorrow at 9am...but ill have the pics of the cylinder walls and block and headgasket tomorrow
