i do not see him mentioning that the motor was in the car in his first post. the motor does not necessarily need to be in the car to have the heads installed.

Call ARP and tell them what happened. The exact same bolt snapped on me and they sent me on for free. Also I used one of those kits that drills a hole in the bolt and then backs it out.

The word touché is often used in "popular culture" and general conversation—for example, in an argument or debate. If one person presents an argument and another delivers a clever or apt response, the first person may respond with "touché" as a way of acknowledging a good response. A synonym of this word would be "Good point".

i kind of favor the moly stuff, lower torq than oil, but have used oil before-hopefully you can get the piece out w/o any problem, might have been a bugger in the threads-(i actually used a tourch and burned one out of a block once w/o any damage) do you coat the under sides of the bolts/nuts with lube? sometimes this step is missed, creates a false torq
i have reused gaskets if the engine hasent run with no problem, except on a boosted engine, i bite the bullet and replace it-good luck

I feel your pain. I just had a long ARP bolt break in my forged shortblock. Seems like it's going to cost me an arm and a leg but the shop if confident they can get it out.. just a matter of "How long it'll take.." or as i see it "How deep are my pockets". GL with the car.

Another possibility that could have caused the head of the bolt to snap off could have been the washer was upside down. I've had it happen before with the same bolt. The washers have a groove on one side and the bolts have a male type portion that goes in the groove of the washer.... Its a possibillity that could of been the cause...
