So I bought a LS head from Ls_[eg]hatch for $30, he was stating that everything cool but it needed cams and stuff. What it needed was cams and cap bolts. Little did I know that I should have pulled the caps off and checked the bolt threads, because there are about 10 to 12 broke cam bolts in the head. I have no idea what to do now, there has to be a cheap way to remove them or fix this... maybe some type of extractor...idk.

Either way I am a little bit bummed, no wonder he wanted to meet me instead of me going to his house .

Now that I have the head all cleaned and taken apart and bought a set of cams, I really need this fixxed.

Pics... Hard to see, damn iphone sucks. its the cam cap bolts

 

BOOOOOO!


Easy out them bitches.

 

How easy will that be? I have never used one lol, been lucky so far knock on wood

 

first i would try a flat head screw driver.....Then easy out......google it....

 

hey that sucks but james is a pretty legit guy. and for 30 bucks I think you got a pretty good deal.. unless it was bare? Either way those shouldnt be too hard to get out.

 

I have a LS head that was overheated and would need to be brought to a machine shop to be resurfaced. You can have it. Message me.

 

yea, try easy out

 

it was a full head, minus valve cover, cams, and cap bolts. I have the head apart now cause I wanted to check the valve guides and changed the valve seals.

Nothin againts james or anytihng, just sucks I never noticed...thats prob why the bolts were missing LOL

how the hell u break those bitches! They dont get torqued that tight.
