325_driver 422 Report post Posted September 14, 2021 Im sure from reading this is common but noticed that was snapped on mine about to do a few gaskets like oil filter housing and valve cover, but wondering if leaving this will make it piss oil? how easy are those bolts to back out, best method / tool ?

Jacko 2154 Report post Posted September 14, 2021 Id try an easy out, the snap on ones seem to work best. At least ali is easy to drill out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 14, 2021 There maybe others under the rocker cover. Remove that first and check. Then measure the depth they have broken. That front one is usually the first to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325_driver 422 Report post Posted September 15, 2021 @*Glenn* yup, was doing the valve cover while i was at it yeah the other 2 x m9x70 ones under the vanos gears are also snapped i havent taken apart timing components on this specific motor before, and may or may not be able to borrow locking tools to get it done, debating just leaving it and dealing with a minor oil leak do these two front bolts (under the vanos gears) usually cause major oil leaks? must have seen it a bit, seems to be common Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
