removing broken bolts?

[Infamous_1]

FML...unscrewed my cam caps and broke them so now I got got about 4 broken bolts in my head and one header bolt!!
Well should I take it to the machine shop to remove broken bolts? Worth it? Or just get a new head? How much would it be to remove also

What head maybe just get a NEW head cause they will have to be machined out then retapped...

Try to drill a hole in the broken stud and use a extractor bit...it took some patience but it worked for me. Gl!!

you could try this but like he said be patient...very patient. just when your drilling through, be very careful and get the center and make sure to keep the drill straight. I ended up breaking the bit off inside of the screw that was already broken off in the head. Then you have to start cutting shit out.

I would prob do that for the exhaust one but idk about the ones in the head...prob just get a new head....better then paying 200+ to take some studs out of a stock head. Any one got one fs? Lol

just buy a a LS head used, they sell for 20-80 bucks tops for a bare head.

When you take your cam caps off..... there isnt any bolt sticking out to grab on to?

[Infamous_1]

Nope its in a hole and the bolt is only a 8mm
