help with stuck Vanos 8mm hex caps

[andrewwynn]

There is no need for the bolt to be E torx. Just a standard m10 I'm guessing. I broke one of the etorx that holds the oil distribution unit feeding the vanos so just bought an allen head bolt to replace it.

Are you replacing the head gasket? I forgot the main goal here; resolve consuming coolant?

Wondering if just using the thicker gasket would help vs. needing to get the head machined flat. Or if there warping is obvious and localized can you file down with a big bastard file.

I should probably start a different thread for the Head Gasket replacement...which yes...is what got me to the stuck Vanos problem.

Definitely start a different thread.
