Valve cover bolt snapped in head

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

The good thing is they are aluminium and easy to drill out, then slap an ezout or whatever in (even jamming the right sized screw stick in it will provide enough torque)
