MORE IMPATIENT

do you mean, HEAD BOLT, like the bolt that goes into the block and holds the head down or are you talking about any other bolt on the head like a cam cap bolt or a valve cover bolt, if you broke a head bold off inside the block, well, your gonna need to take that to a shop that knows what there doing so your block is salvageable, caue you seriously dont want to have to helicoil a block........

there are other options to helicoiling on a block, but he said it's not stripped out, just broken off. if it's broken off and it IS in fact a head bolt there are things you can do to remove it...try to get a pic of the bolt you are talking about...

davethacraker

yea not a head bolt a cam cap bolt or a valve cover bolt or whatever it is...its on the top of the head

SolarEclipse

best bet would be to take it to a machine shop... shouldn't be that much

sk8rmike

is it broken off flush with the head? or is there some metal of the bolt sticking up some?
