Welp. My torque wrench must have failed me, or I got a seriously defective bolt with my new VC.
On the plus side it’s in a fairly easy place to work. On the bad side, it’s seriously in there. I managed to get the valve cover back off and put some vice grips on it. They won’t turn it at all. Not sure if it’s friction locked at the bottom or if I cross threaded it? Not sure how that would have happened as it went in without resistance.
Either way it is seriously in there & I’m a bit lost as to what my best option is.
It’s the third or fourth bolt back from the front of the engine on the intake side.
What’s my best course of action? Left handed drill bit? Bolt extractor? I’m kind of at a loss because I was expecting the vice grips to just twist it right out.
