[QUOTE="1FJR, post: 1457008, member: 486"] So decided to take this on. All was going great until I got to the bolts holding the cooling system pipe on top. After cleaning the area, noticed last night that the area looked pretty corroded. So sprayed some penetrating stuff and let it sit till this afternoon. First bolt came out, but it was not happy. Second bolt not so much. Tried tapping on the bolt to see if that would break it loose. Nope, but thought it did as the Allen socket started to turn. That was just the bolt stripping out. So more penetrating stuff and going to let sit overnight and then try bolt extraction tomorrow. If that does not work, will probably just drill out the head so I came the pipe out. Then after the cover is off the motor work on it again. [/QUOTE]
