That was my second option to try out slightly smaller 12pt deep sockets, 15 mm, 14 mm. (Since 5/8 being 15.7 mm) Irwin BoltGrip is on my way from amazon.com I am gonna try that first.

I don't know any Russian Mechanics in my area. It was a older GERMAN MECHANIC who made that suggestion to take the motor apart. N62 Engine has a plastic nipple (rubber tube extension which is not connected to anywhere in front of the radiator) that I believe it is for vent. He also suggested some part is missing because of that. I don't believe him much despite of his national origin.

Thanks for the suggestion.
