the place i used to go to i think closed down (Rick's Auto Works). The engine i just bought, the seller failed to mention the reason one of the header bolts was missing is b/c it snapped off in the head. I also need a motor mount bolt removed from another engine but i can always fabricate around that, so the header bolt is the most important.

Does anybody know of a machine shop that could drill these out for me?

Regards,

Kyle

you dont have to drill them out neceseraly. o-reilys or Vato zone sell lil drill bits for this kind of stuff. i would def check this out before you spend more money...

iv hae never had any luck w/ easy outs, they always seem to break b/c if the bolt broke off in the block or heads it means its seized/crossthreaded and it needs to be drilled out.

im in the same boat those POS always break in the middle of the bolt...as a matter of fact EVERYTIME ive tried one that has happened, thats why im missing an intake bolt and 2 exhaust bolt

how far in the head is it? I removed the one out of Shiner's head when he broke off a valve cover bolt.

I used an easy-out, and a cheapie carbide bit.

i dont know how much of the bolt is in the head, but i would say it is probably 1/8" inside. i dont think an easy out will do it.

What you don't have the machines/tools to do it yourself?







Just kidding, sucks that he somehow forgot to mention that little part before you bought the engine
