Retro Rides<\/a>, writing about what happened and my plan to get us out of this situation. Here\u2019s what I determined: Because the bolt sheared at an angle, I would flatten the top of it using a Dremel, make a small pilot hole with the Dremel, drill a hole for the extractor, smack the extractor in with a hammer, and then screw the bolt, out. Easy, right?<\/p>\nWell, over the next few days, more and more people suggested using a left-handed<\/em> drill bit over an extractor \u2026<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThey had two main reasons: The extractor would likely cause more problems by snapping (which, I have to say, I\u2019ve used extractors in the past and had varying levels of success). They also recommended the left-handed drill bit because it spins the opposite<\/em> way of a right-handed one, so it has a left-hand<\/em> spiral because it spins anti-clockwise<\/em>. That means\u2014instead of a regular drill bit turning the bolt further<\/em> into the engine\u2014a left-hand drill bit would spin the bolt out<\/em>. I\u2019d never tried a left-hand drill bit, but it seemed brilliant.<\/p>\nThe following frigid weekend, L and I headed back to the Cortez together, taking a quick diversion to our nearest Harbor Freight store. (For those outside of the U.S., Harbor Freight sells all kinds of tools (spanners, drills, sockets, hammers, more), car parts (lights, winches, tow bars, still more), hobby machines (lathes, drill presses, milling machines, and more), and loads of other random items. I should also add Harbor Freight items aren\u2019t the best quality, but they are cheap and often do the job \u2026 but it is worth mentioning we do not recommend buying their torque wrenches\u2014just ask L!<\/p>\n
\n
\n
L here: This seemed like an open invitation to write \u2026 or at least that is how I will word this interception to Andy.<\/p>\n
I admit, my fingers are twitching above the \u201cDelete\u201d key as I battle internally on whether I should respect Andy\u2019s written voice or delete Andy\u2019s above H-F paragraph. <\/p>\n
\nYou should know we have made a binding agreement to never\u2014ever\u2014say this company\u2019s name aloud or in writing because H-F is the reason we entered this horrible bolt-shearing situation!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Our horrible torque wrench\u2014that could not do its one job of applying the set amount of torque\u2014came from H-F, and it is because of this, they are 100% banned from our words and our wallets. (Take that, H-F!) And listen, I could rant for an extended time on how irritated I am at this company for selling cheap, faulty products, but I\u2019ll end saying you know who I ranted at more? Andy. Because he drove us back to H-F directly following our crappy situation<\/em>. This is why he knew he was poking the bear when he wrote, \u201cjust ask L!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBut we needed a set of left-hand drill bits quick, as I reminded L.<\/p>\n
At the Cortez, we were greeted with our magnetic work tray, which was frozen and showed not only that temperatures were bloody freezing but also that, yes, our roof apparently still leaks.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nMoving into place perched over our engine, we were ready to fix our problem.<\/p>\n
\nI claimed the fix would either be a five-second job (though in my mind, I was thinking it was either going to be a five-second job or a five-week job, depending on what happened).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Meanwhile, L, being her usual pessimistic self, was not convinced.<\/p>\n
Really hoping that I could prove her wrong, we moved to fixing our problem, starting by removing all rocker shaft bolts (except the sheared one) and removing the rocker shaft. I quickly got out the Dremel and a small ball-nose end mill, flattening the visible sheared part of the bolt inside the head of the engine. Next, we picked a suitable sized drill from our new kit, tightened it into the drill and put it against the face of the bolt.<\/p>\n
Then we both held out breath \u2026 and I gave the drill trigger a cheeky squeeze \u2026 and the drill barely cut into the top of the bolt before it caught<\/em>, and the end of the bolt came whizzing out of the hole! Huzzar!<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAnd that was it! It was below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (or below 0 degrees Celsius, if you measure temperature sensibly), so we decided\u00a0we\u2019d end the day right there\u2014go home, get warm, and enjoy our Saturday!<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, with the snapped bolt still fresh in our minds, I made the decision to purchase a new set of suitable Grade Eight bolts to lock down our rocker shaft moving forward, as well as a new and lovely Titan torque wrench from Summit Racing.<\/p>\n
L again: I try not to call out specific companies because we aren\u2019t paid to advertise for them, but, damn\u2014Titan (and Summit Racing), you deserve this because we love you! Thank you for offering a top-notch torque wrench that we fully endorse!<\/p>\n
With those purchases made and our passenger\u2019s side rocker shaft properly torqued down, we were ready to tackle our driver\u2019s side engine valve stem seals \u2026<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soulofaseeker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20220205-V8-engine-valve-stem-seals_093.jpg?resize=730%2C548&ssl=1\")

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\nIn the end, after all the fuss of doing the passenger\u2019s side seals, the driver\u2019s side was a walk in the park\u2014an uncomfortable walk but a walk in the park nonetheless.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\nThere was one major \u201cOops!\u201d during the driver\u2019s side\u2014and I\u2019ll fully place the blame on L but forgive her because what happened could have happened to either of us while working \u2026<\/p>\n
While reassembling the intake valve on Cylinder Three, L somehow managed to drop the top-hat of the valve assembly \u2026 \u201cdrop\u201d as in it vanished! We looked for ages in the freezing cold to no avail before giving up and going home. I purchased a replacement \u2026 which turned out to be wrong (no surprise!). Then one morning, I made a final effort to find it\u2014I drove the farm early, and armed with a magnet-on-a-stick, I spent ages in the grass looking for the top-hat. Every pass with the magnet came up empty, though. In one last ditch attempt I returned to the engine bay and somehow some way \u2026 I found it! Nestled between the transmission and clutch slave cylinder bracket, the top-hat sat as if it was waiting for me!<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nSo, the rest of our new seals were installed the next weekend. The better news is we also found another failed intake seal on the driver\u2019s side, so all stem seal replacements should certainly help (if not stop) our engine from burning oil while running.<\/p>\n
