    2F Engine Head Bolts - HELP

    Good advice -- it worked. Had to get over my fears of shearing bolts. Many of the others on the rig shear so easily. Again, hoping that I didn't screw up the head gasket. Have run her, dropped my jaw cus my reservoir fluid was lower but think that is due to partially draining the radiator...

    2F Engine Head Bolts - HELP

    Got IT!!!!! AND the PIG runs again.:cheers: Took 4ft of PVC over my 1/2" breaker bar but it finally broke w/o shearing. After the two head bolts came out I did have a little leakage of anti-freeze -- Just some dribble down the side of the block -- I had already released the pressure on...

    Now we're getting serious, got to go to the big guns (3/4 " and 4 ft cheater). I'll see if any of my friends have the equipment. Thanks

    2F Engine Head Bolts - HELP

    The 3/4" does fit the same as the 19mm --- I tried it earlier but thought it was a loose fit. Thanks for all the input, will probably use them all, impact wrench too; probably not running it since I have one of the head bolts out already and don't want to blow the gasket. Sounds like the bolts...

    Cruiser88 and Crawford67, Thanks, think I will invest in the 19mm 1/2 socket and extension. Will let you know what happens after I get them. Thanks for the help ---

    2F Engine Head Bolts - HELP

    Thanks Trevor -- Good to hear --- did you replace the bolts or use new ones when you put it back together? Torque is supposed to by from 83-98 lbs/ft or so. Used a breaker bar but did not slip a cheater onto it due to being chicken --- was using the torque wrench to get a "feel" of how tight...

    2F Engine Head Bolts - HELP

    Trying to install an Air Cleaner Bracket onto a 2F Engine (for a 75 PIG). Need to take out 2 front Driver's side head bolts. Got out one, but getting "leary," make that paranoid, because can't seem to get the 2nd one out. Took the torque wrench up to about 100 ft/lbs --- has not "broken" yet...
