Dude, take a torch to it. Trust me it will work.
Im using my Mac CAI that is made for the SN95 but im trying to fit it to a fox style tb setup so I went to home depot and bought a 3 inch elbow that is the same exact size diameter as the CAI so it works perfectly so I called it modified haha. I couldnt get it started tonight something is up with the timing and the distributor being off but it was dark and I was hungry so I said screw it for now. But she is all put back together I just need to figure out this last bug and it will be running.
i didnt go to work today so i should be able to help ya out. there was no way i was driving that far for work thats just fucking crazy but what ever. we will get it running today man for sure. call me when you are out of school or what ever.

i had the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago except the bolt was on the other side. I went looking for a set of left handed bits but couldnt find and so i found a drill out. It is a left handed bit and extractor in one. I drilled it out and then switched to the extractor and the ****** snapped off and no way was it coming out. Pulled the head off took it to a machine shop and $10 later the bolt was out. Got everything put back together in two long cold nights and so far no leaks. :banana:

Haha at least you got it out man. I was NOT willing to yank that head. Anyway I got it running so far no leaks. I did have a little scare though.... the bolt is right next to the thermostat housing and when I was filling the car with coolant I saw a puddle forming. At first I thought it was that. Turns out the thermostat housing was cracked so when I took it off it came off in two pieces. Put my old one on so far so good.

one thing that I have had to resort to in the past when an extractor wouldnt work is to take a socket just a hair larger than the bolt and pound that muther on as far as it will go and then hook a ratchet to it and with a breaker bar and pray. :dancing6: Worked a few weeks ago on a header bolt on my dodge truck that snapped off. Ruins the socket, but if it is a craftman, they will take it back and replace it. just another thing that works. :thumb:
