i was trying to do an oil change at the weekend and nothing went well...
drained the oil.....noticed i needed a new sump gasket....got 1...took the down pipe off to get the smp off....nice and easy...undid the sump and tried to get it off...it took a damn lot of effort but managed to do it...then while it was off i thought i would take the oil filter off... not a chance...dunno what it had been put on with but it took an age to get it off...
so i put the new filter on..nice and easy
get all the remains of the old gasket off and put the gasket on (with Hermatite sealer)...start to put it back on and put all the bolts in....
start to tighten them all up and what happens? i snap a fuckin head off a bolt.... :o
im told it will leak if i dont get the remaining thread out and put another bolt in...so this weekend me and my step dad have to drill a hole in the thread and try and use some easy outs to get it out ....he is an electrical and mechanical engineer so knows what he is doing...
any helpfull suggestions?
if it goes wrong im told i will need a new engine?
i feel like such a twat!!!!
