Ok, i was doing work to the ack today, when i took the head off, i realized from the time before i broke one of the upper bolts into the block should i still drive my car? btw, im not trying to show anyone what it looks like cause im not showing the car till its done. thats why its this picture.

 

i dont understand why everyone on this forum is so
We end up getting threads like this.

That pic doesnt tell me much, but you should be able to drill out the broken part of the bolt...

 

if you have ever taken the upper middle bolt out of the head, it is long bolt and holds it on, im sure i will lose compression, im not sure if i should just drill it out or not, i dont want to mess it up, and if i do drill it out should i re-thread it.

 

I had the same situation before, so long as most of the bolts are tight (lightly tight with wrench, do not overtighten or it may break) there shouldnt be any issues. Make sure that the gasket isnt hissing from a loss of vacuum pressure. If everything seems normal, then it shouldnt be a problem. Drive it lightly until you get it fixed.

 

I drove around with a broken gasket seal for a couple months before I realized something was wrong, so I think you should be ok. I'd still get it fixed as soon as you can tho.

 

The broken end that i had came out with a screwdriver. there was a little divet on the broken part that i could put a flat head in and turn it out. Try random tools to screw it out first before trying something expensive/hard.

 

use something like this

lmao! I was just about to post pics and a story to shut you guys up too but blackack closed it. Ohh wells, Thanks Chris!

 

well fred, make your own thread! that thread got us semi-excited.

thats one of the big reasons why i won't paint my valve cover, i'm afraid im gonna break something and fuck it up.

 

No way! Now that the thread is closed, I don't have to post anything.
It's a long story...

BTW, didn't something like this happen to Nate?

 

lol yes, same exact thing, i just had my mechanic do it, he even had a replacement screw on hand so I was golden! :gheylaugh

 

Thanks everyone for your help, im taking it to our shop today, and gettin that sum' bitch out.
