    I had that same problem for a long time replaced everything i could think of and finally decided to pull the motor and when i did i thought about oil and so i pull the oil pan and there it was the oil pick up looked like a biscuit years of dirt and gunk had clogged the pickup and the motor was not getting enough oil you should check that it solved my problem

    The oil pump will leak if its missing that thin paper gasket but make sure you know what you're doing if you take it down to check it

    I had that problem and it was the Hi-Beam switch that needed to be triggered. Other times it was that the fact that the engine needed to be running also make sure your marker lights screws are not touching any metal

    That's what I'm saying he did not extract the bolt. I gave him two days and he kept saying he was soaking it and im not paying anybody to just look and spray oil on it. I cant post pictures im still learning this whole internet thing but i will let you guys know my next step

    Wade is right the mechanic didn't do anything. The block is back home situation unchanged i need to find another mechanic or shop. No big deal i might try to do it myself you never know what you can do or how well you can do it until you try The glass half full...

    Took the block to a mechanic $40.00 and it's done. pick it up tomorrow and and make this a bad memory i need to put this thing back together and get it running There was an upside to this whole thing there was a bad freeze plug in the back of the block that i wouldn't have found if not for the removal of the head so its all good. repairs under way
  8. So the car ran before you changed the coil. Make sure you rewired the coil correctly i think that's your problem.

    Low budget dictates all options so i have a hole in the bolt half a can of PB worn out hammer useless vice grips broken easy outs and half a stick of dynamite. ( Last Option ) not laughing

    O.K. used Rust penetrant - Hit it - Drilled it - Heated it - Vice griped it. That bolt is stuck and the little bit of it that is still there is laughing at me. this would be funny if it wasn't me so i need to see it from an outsiders point of view. laughing at myself no big deal I will get back to this at a later date.

    the head is off and there is enough of the bolt showing to vice grip but it wont turn and i don't want to strip it so while welding seems to be the way to go i don't have a welder or access to one unless i buy one ( Hard Times ) so until that happens im stuck i just thought someone might have a way that i haven't tried to get this thing out.

    Looking for a good way to get this thing out without doing any more damage ive sprayed it it with oil - used vice grips - hammered it - and cant get it to move. Anybody got any good back yard solutions ?
