going to remove the intake manifold on qlink peg. the other side is of course a regular bolt but this has no gripping edge, no marks lilke someone just messed it, in fact it is chromed. i couldn't tell ya how it was even tightened.
has anyone run into this and am i just missing something? some odd trick? i even tried to turn the whole thing hoping to maybe loosen it but not willing to try to hard and break anything.

this is all to find why i cannot get more than maybe three fires and it stops dead. just wanted to have a look at the cylinder but talking with the guy i bought ti from (not sure he is giving me the straight goop considering he didn't say anything about this when i bought it) but he said maybe it was in the starter clutch and i guess it could very well be. i hate to close it up without replacing the gaskets but right now it is my only choice until i can get that off. meaning i am going in the side and checking the starter clutch, another post mention a peice that could be out of whack for a different problem but not entirely so.

Someone snapped the head off the flange head bolt,,, that's the name of that kind of bolt,,, drill it and use an easy out ,, that will remove it

If you use a prick punch and hammer just tap it in direction needed to be unscrewed it shouldn't be that tight that just looks like a intake manifold bold.

i like both thoughts and may do it, but it isn't broken. i know the pic may look a bit dirty but it is chromed, the center flat and the sides perfectly angled and not a single scratch, grove or tool mark.

It almost looks like someone already tried to use an easy-out and stripped the middle of the bolt completely, but you'd think there'd be signs of that-- plus you said the top was flat but it's hard to rell that in the pic. Weird and annoying as to why that's even there then.

That bolt had a raised 12 point head above the flange/ boss it has been sheared,, clearly seen in the pic,, it is a manufacturing defect,, and the fastener failed,,, easy peasy to extract,,,

Use grade 8 or better on all your fasteners from now on and those kind of problems go away,,, look in the area phone book/ internet for aircraft breakers,,, they sell aircraft grade fasteners by the pound,,, last time I did that I spent $70 and I'm on my 15th build with much left over,,, worth every penny

It is M14 in size but thread is non-hardware store available . Mine is getting aweful mushed up from being to soft a metal and me taking it on and off to do weight changes. I hope I can even get it back off the shaft to change it out. |

try a tractor/agricultural such as "agrisupply here in nc" best selection of grade 8 stuff anywhere (metric and standard) and way cheaper. ford wanted something along the lines of 15 bucks a bolt for my mustang and found them them there for 4 or 5 something and change
