Hi all,
I was changing the head gasket on my daughters 82 VW Rabbit diesel an=
d one of the head bolts snapped off leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 inches above t=
he block. I have heated it up and put penetrating oil on it and I am going=
to attempt to take it off tomorrow. Any other suggestions out there. Als=
o, a couple of the other bolts came out with red powdery rust on the thread=
s=2E Do you think those threads will hold the head bolt torque. I put oil d=
own those threads and ran the bolts in and out of them a couple of times. =
Thanks for any suggestions out there.
Thanks
Dave
