Snapped AAZ head bolt...Loctited in!

Post by thenaylortribe »

Ok so the big day arrived today. Time to take off the head and change the gasket.
Thought I'd replace valve stem oil seals as well and lap in all the valves while the heads off.
So managed to break free the head bolts and lo and behold managed to snap the head off one..front right nearest fuel pump.

AGHHH!!!!

It would appear that some tw@t in the past has Red Loctited this bolt in place..god only knows why.

So now the head won't come off over this broken bolt. All the others are free!

Back to the drawing board first thing in the morning.......

Nope!..managed to snap the bolt off with about 2mm protruding from the block! :P

Unscrewed with pliers.

Now just got to get the rest of it out of the head! :evil:
