Draker Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 You got hella lucky! How did it break? You tapped em? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 some of them must be too stretched, this is by far not my first L build lol threads are always tapped and TQ procedure is always step by step to factory specs. got a different style of head bolt to drop in there that I shouldnt have any problems with.

I'm BLUE Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 You did get really lucky on that headbolt :lol: .. The last one I drilled out (broke below the sealing surface line/frozen) took me a couple of work-evening's to conquer ! :blink: Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yeah I'm sure not your first by far. I saw the post where you tapped the block that why I was like wtf...? Probably best it broke now rather than on a road trip or something. Your first start vid is coming soon! Quote Link to comment
