ok well about 6 months ago when i did my swap i noticed a leak coming from somewhere around the vtec solenoid right after taking it on the first test run. and being dumb so excited about getting the swap in and feeling some dohc vtec, i thought it was just i forgot to tighten one of the bolts...

with the engine still be warm i tighten and then snap (learned my lesson on tightening hot bolts)... so i took off the solenoid and tried to get the bolt out with visegrips, after it had cooled. there was only a very small slither sticking out and i couldnt get it. so now i have 2 bolts in and high temp gasket sealant all the way around.

I am not sure if the leak was from the solenoid or the cam seal. But i know I want to fix this broken bolt problem...

(cliff notes) BASICALLY, what i want to know is how do i get out a broken bolt from the head which is only sticking out a few MM's?

 

get a set of bolt extractors

 

cody! cmon man, what're ya thinkin?! j/k

I did something kinda like that, except not too harsh...I snapped a valve cover bolt into my head, and it wasnt sticking out at all, i was actually snapped below the point of no return...

Brought it over to stans shop (did me and bretts exhausts) and he pretty much tapped it right out. Dudes amazing, and he owns his own machine shop in middletown, he def knows his stuff. If you must, call up brett, he'll give you a way to contact him.

 

weld another bolt to it and then take it out

 

Mr horsepower u mean?

 

hell yeah mr horsepower! hes got like, maybe 4 8-900HP Dirt track race cars in the garage right now, and the oh-so-sacreligious chevy powered supra
