Ok so when i was installing my Jet-hot LT's i ran into a minor set back. I broke the last header bolt off. I have all the tools to get it out. Should i pull the whole motor and get it? or can i just pull the head and get it from there? if i pull the head will i need a new gasket? if you could steer me in the right direction i would greatly like that. thanks

 

Same thing happened to me. I pulled the head and yes you need a new head gasket.

 

ok do you know how much that would cost me

 

30-40 for a gasket and 40 for a new set of bolts.

 

what bolt did you break ?

last one on the drivers side ??

how did it break ?

 

Could you possibly take pictures of it? There is nothing sticking out of the bolt hole? (i.e. you can't get vicegrips or anything on there to back it out?)

I stripped the bolt hole on my last one when I did my Jet-Hots... I had to drill the hole, tap it and put in a helicoil, and then bolt it back up... worked like a charm.

 

second to last bolt on the driver side

 

the bolt is broken in the head and nothing is sticking out and its not flush its actually in. I am renting a 90 degree drill tomorrow and im gonna try to twist it out with that lil tool thing. lol i got get the name, reversed thread

 

Ever get this solved? I had this happen to me and don't know what to do.

 

Did you fix it?

 

pull the head, and send it off to a machine shop
