Hi all, i've broken a head stud and one other is bent. Does anyone have a B20E head about?
Big thanks

Paul

neither of those issues means the head is bad. Double nut the bent stud and spin it out. Depending on where the other stud broke, you might be able to do the same. If it's down in there a ways, you can drill/ easy out the broken bit. A hint on drilling out bolts is to use left hand drills such that if it grabs, it spins it out not in.

And don't snap the drill and then the easyout in the head, as I did, as it results in an expensive machining job.
