Hello i just brought an pair of cam heads, and just found out the 1 of the bolts on the camshaft holders is rounded off

Can anyone give me advice how to take it off? or if someone know how to?

thanks

Got a couple of options,

Some irwin bolt extractors, or hammer a 9mm socket on there and do it that way. I tried both and the 9mm shifted it in the end.

Put some penetrating oil around it first, and make sure the other bolts are tight before trying to undo that one.

Does anyone know where I can get an replacement bolt for it? Apart from Stealer of course

Got plenty of bolts.
You can tap a 9mm socket on to the head of the bolt and then just twist it out.

Your welcome to a bolt.

if the 9mm socket does not work file the top clean and mig weld a bigger nut on it, the heat will help it also
