Title: 16v Head
Post by: jasonpi on 01 September 2006, 09:31

right anyone of you who's worked on a 16v head may have noticed that one head bolt always seems a bugger to get off as in my case!! one at the back wont get off and i have no clue on how to remove it any advice would be appreciated...

I didnt have an issue. Why wont it come off? You just turn real hard. Use a breaker bar.

Is there room to grind the head off the bolt?

get a big drill bit and drill the head of the bolt of as there is no room to do any thing else also if you cant undo the bolt you might have a prob gettin the rest of the bolt out the bolts were most prob not greased up before they were put in and torqued up
