Need Quick Help Please

ok on my b16 i got everything outta the way to get to my head bolts, but when i try to loosen em to get em off, i turn the whole engine:eek:

i've tried a 12" breaker bar, and a 110ft/lb torque wrench to no avail, i had my moms hold the engine while i tried to turn the bolts, but nothing.

anyone have any ideas of how i can get these off?

bump.

Dude...I am confused..is the engine out of the car? Is it like sliding around on the floor? Head bolts have ~48 lb/ft of torque...they shouldn't be that hard to come loose. I saw an engine stand at Sears yesterday for less than $100 - that might help or you need to find some way to wedge the engine and hold it still. When I first got my ZC I had it strapped to a palette...that was a LOT easier to work with as I was pulling the heavy parts off of it.

:cool:

yeah my motor is on the floor, im trying to take the head off so i can put my new valves and stuff in, they arent reverse thread are they? cuz they dont even budge.

def. shouldn't be reverse threads... and they def shouldn't be that tight... be careful you don't snap them either... thats a bitch when that happens... and my advice is find a friend with an impact gun...

alright, ill see if my boy with his impact gun can get em off, thanks for the help guys.

yeah impact guns make life a lot easier... good luck with it

thanks hopefully my boy will come through for me.

anyone know of a good gun that i could pick up for myself?

price dont matter.

thanks.

Make sure that you take the pressure off the head in the correct pattern.
