(*#$!! Reply #30 – April 26, 2009, 06:58:27 AM Grumbles,The time, effort and aggravation you have spent to get the bolt out should be a valuable lesson. After two failed attempts, it was time to hand it over to the professionals. (BTW, nothing wrong with failed attempts ) :)If your going to complain about being nickle and dimed to death and you state that your new to this. You will need to make a decision if you want to stay in this hobby, because I promise you, YOU WILL BE NICKLE AND DIMED TO DEATH.I have been doing this for 30+ years and the only difference I have seen is, it went from nickles and dimes to twenties, fifties and hundreds!Remember...... You can always make more money but, the time we have is a limited amount and we have no knowledge of when it will run out. So spend your money wisely and your time even wiser.Hope it all works out and keep us posted!!! Quote Selected

(*#$!! Reply #32 – April 27, 2009, 03:40:31 PM On my very first car, I snapped a bolt off on the valve cover gasket. Too much monkey power I guess. I shot some RTV down in the hole and stuffed the bolt head into it and called it good (so I wouldn't have to explain it to anyone). I bet its still on the road somewhere like that. Quote Selected

(*#$!! Reply #38 – April 30, 2009, 02:41:03 AM Dropped it off today with a gentleman by the name of Gibbs who happens to run an avionics CNC shop right in my own back yard. As I walked in I couldn't help but notice he was machining custom oil pans and control arms for Nissan 240's. I offered to maybe put in a couple hours here and there for cheap just to learnthe trade. Told him I wasn't terribly concerned with money, just interested in the field.We'll see what he says :] Quote Selected
