head problems

Postby Bigwally30 » Thu Dec 22, 2022 10:17 pm

Started a new project, engine stuck so I was going to pull the head. Noticed that the head had been brazed up, pulled the head bolts and notice
one head bolt was missing. I think I will have to cut out the head to free it. Any suggestions? Has no PTO, enclosed is a picture of the block off plate.

It looks like the bolt is there just covered in braze.
If it were mine, I would grind the head of the bolt off and replace the head.

Get a die grinder and remove the braze around the hex enough to get a socket on

If the crack went near or through the bolt hole, there may not be a bolt there at all.

It looks like there is no head left. I think I will cut a square into the head then horizontal to the block to get down to business.

I'm so jealous that all those other head bolts came out
Good luck with the job though
Cripes - I thought I'd never get one.

replace the head and new bolts, if there is a stud of the old bolt left under that mess you could weld a nut to it to remove it, PTO just find a good used assembly and in it goes plus you need the linkage to make it work
