Don't make more than one thread on the same thing on the same day or you end up on our collective ****-list.

When I was doing my b16 swap in the rex we broke 4 sockets. Even a impact socket trying to get those darn head bolts out. Ended up not getting the off. Hope I can when I get all the parts to rebuild the top end. Good luck getting them off.
