HalfJobHarry 106 Report post Posted February 14, 2022 So after a month of various maintenance I come to the valve cover gasket. I discover that I somehow already have a snapped bolt for the valve cover...which incredible didn't seem to be leaking in the area. Looking at the marks around the hole looks like somebody tried to get it out before and clearly chanced it by somehow sticking the head of the bolt in place. Anybody in Auckland I can pay to come in and get this out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted February 14, 2022 Well that sucks! I'm sure I've got a bolt extractor set (or two) lying around you're welcome to try. Drop some penetrating lube around the perimeter of that hole whilst you're waiting for a solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
