how the hell do they come off ive been trying to loosen them but no luck i was following sequence and i havent gotten them loose is there an easier way?

 

Yeah... go to the gym and work out for 6 months then try it again.

 

you are so smart, fvkin jackass

 

Well, I am not the one that can't over-come head bolts good sir. All you do is turn them CCW and they come right out. What is the deal? You gave no information to go off of...

 

haha^ yeah im getting head studs for the head swap im gonna do, good luck trying to get them off.

 

bitches arent moving...

 

wow. ive ran many motor with head studs and was ALWAYS able to remove them. unless you did something horribly wrong during assembly, your just weak.

 

u using a breaker bar? are they oem or aftermarket studs? did u install the studs your now trying to remove?

 

im guessing they are oem and i am not weak in anyway it needs a head gasket so the previous owners might have tightened them up before the sale

 

i dont understand ive been pulling with my entire body weight would a breaker bar even help?

 

the first time i ever pulled the head off my car with 200k on it they gave me a little trouble but with a breaker bar should be able to do it im only 5'11 and weight 153

 

That's what a breaker bar is for. To break loose... and yes it'll help.

 

eat some wheaties!!

 

I know,,, No, I am sure you are not going the wrong way.....??? Are you??

Lefty loosy Righty tighty??

 

Call rambo.

 

ROFLLLL

too funny yooo that was random

and kid you should turn them COUNTER clockwise(opposite of the way the clock hands go) ake sure you get the right socket a strong rach eat a good breakfast and get it done FIRMLY dont **** up the bolts..

 

if you are turning it in the right direction and have the breaker bar..i dunno what to tell ya. try soakin it with wd40 or liquid wrench. If they still don't comeout you might have some issues, lol. Maybe the person who had it before you thought he was being smart and dripped some red loc-tite on the bolts...

 

breaker bar worked perfectly should i reuse these studs? the manual says to use engine oil on the head bolts but it says to tq them back to 49 lb/ft but i keep hearing higher numbers...

 

no one very important lesson is to NEVER EVER EVER EVER re use oem head studs your just asking for trouble

just buy some arp's and life will be happy on that part of the engine and dont use engine oil u will wnat a good lub like i think its called motul??? i cant remeber he name some one will or just look on the arp website

 

OEM studs are one time use.
Breaker bars ftw... but be careful not to strip or over tighten any bolts when using one.
And remember to always hand tighten anything first.

Invest in a torque wrench too. I would highly advise to use one when re-tightening the head studs. And follow the torque sequence.
And I thought ARP studs came with oil? I'm not sure.

 

+1

 

head studs can be reused a lot of times
they stretch out so thats why your hearing bigger numbers

when puting them back i'd tourge them down to 22 pounds first then 53 pounds for the finished product

 

no need for ARP head studs unless you've built your engine...oem is just fine

 

i realize that, but thats all i use thier dependable, and more of a personal choice i guess

 

meh still fairly sketchy reusing head studs but to each his own i guess i mean ive alwyas had problems when i had 1st reused head studs even when torquing more to compensate either way >my opinion< not a good idea on oem's.....
