i have a downloaded manual somewhere but i have to find it first.. i'll worry about finding it after the tear down, got pretty far in just three hours considering its my first one and i took several breaks since it was almost 100 degrees :l |
Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
my z6 had a gasket that went between the oil pickup and the oil pump. I didnt replace it the first time i rebuilt the engine and oil pressure was pretty low. Gauge read 0 at idle but the light didnt come on.

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
it wasnt really an option for me either.... i think it may be why i had a little spun bearing carnage after two months or so. With the new pickup AND gasket, i have 10psi at idle.

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
10psi oil pressure at idle is pretty crappy

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
Yeah ---- I get almost 65psi on cold startup and 40 or so when fully warmed up
I also didnt use a gasket on the oil pickup, just made it very clean Stripped bolts arent ----, put them vice grips on tight! dont be a vagina Oh and get a good set of sockets, if your disassembling something and you dont have the right socket, DONT ------- TRY IT, get the right socket |

Re: stripped bolts during tear down, FUCK
I didnt read the rest of the thread but you have a few options,
1) soak the $hit out of the bolt with wd40 or another nut buster, then get some good vice grips, "hulk up" and turn green and give it your best clamp. 2) Weld the closest fitting socket on real well and then put the ratchet on there and break it lose. 3) get a bolt remover kit from pep boys and follow the directions. 4) get a drill or grinder and go to town on whatever if left of the bolt. good luck |
