So umm...which bolts actually hold the head to the block?

 

The 4 down the middle under the cam? or the ones along the drivers side of the head? or all of the above? :)

:-D They shouldn't be tight enough to require an impact to remove. They only have a 10mm socket head, torqued to 60 or 70 ft-lbs... I've removed them with a 3/8" socket wrench.

Ill have to go look it up then..thanks!

 

I hadnt finished making my allen socket yet...so I never did remove anything.

 

Them thick allen wrenches sure are a pain to cut through :/

I don't know how you would remove them with a 3/8, because I remember how I had to use a pipe a couple feet long just to begin turning those bolts! :roll: anyhow, good luck, and yeah, read the manual, it will tell you the order.

 

Considering the torque, and the length of the wrench, I can apply 60-70 pounds to the handle...but not if the bolts are corroded. But I've dis-assembled 4 L28 engines to date and never had a problem with head bolts.

Bolts are fine...I didnt actually intend to use an impact gun...that was a bit of sarcasm....an air rachet however will indeed get used.
