Head bolt nuts

STeeL25T · #1 05-29-2009, 08:45 PM

Probably asked a million times, but I finally got a friend to bring a 250 ft lbs impact for my cam gears, that wouldn't break it lose. Called yet ANOTHER friend with 500 lbs one, got it of and pull the cams out, thinking I was about to finally pull one of the heads off but I can't get the head bolts off. Looks to be more than a 12 point bolt, we didn't have a impact socket that would fit but we gently tried to use a normal socket and that wouldn't break it lose. What should I be using to remove these last few bolts?

Head bolt nuts eh??

The bolts have 14mm 12pt heads on them. The block bolts are 12mm 12 heads-/

I haven't pulled them off yet so I'm not sure what they are but I was assuming the actual bolts are in the block and the head drops on to them. Guess I just need a breaker bar.

Yes, you should not be trying to use an impaqct gun to remove those bolts

I wouldn't for putting them back on but I was told taking them off shouldn't be a big deal since the bolts needs to be replaced anyway. Anything else I should know?

You need to loosen them in sequence too.
