[southside]

How much will it cost and where can I get it done.

[JITB]

[southside]

[JITB]

shouldnt be too much considering u can take the head off and take it to the machine shop.. and they can knock it out in a second!

[jadakid88]

I would throw the block away and buy a new one before I would let scotts do anything to it. I wouldn't let them air up a tire, much less any sort of machine work, or anything else for that matter. They should have some sort of "special education" work program. Their work quality would drastically increase.

Go to sears or to O'riely's and buy a bolt extractor kit. It will probably take about 10 minutes to remove it.

huh the bolt isnt stuck it wont thread.like its hard when you try to put them in

[southside]

Really hard to turn

[blackshine007]

Really hard to turn

Oh, my bad. Blow out the holes with compressed air. If at all possible, get a tap and die kit and go over each hole. Make sure you blow any trash out of it or it will be very difficult to turn.

Ok what would the die kit do

[JITB]

well u might be able to re thread it like blackshine said, with a kit form the parts store... ive done it before on a spark plug thread. But if its really deep than its gonna be hard to find something that long..

[southside]

^^^Yea I think my friends already tried dat,didnt work.

[blackshine007]

It would help by cleaning up slag that was caused by trash that was in the bolt hole while you were trying to install that bolt. And it's good assurance that you will have a whole that won't tear up your bolts.

[southside]

^^^Ok thanks

[southside]

Wow that Joes place said they can do it but its 75$ a hole.WTF
