What set you off?
Hey all, as a lot of you know I'm redoing my motor from scratch, I know many of you have done this so maybe you can relate to this question. When you are tearing down your motor, which bolt totally pissed you off, made you want to go for a sawzall/die-grinder?
For me no contest, the passenger side upper header bolt(shorties) closely followed by the upper starter motor bolt!
It should be fun to see which ones gave you guys grief!

It took me and a friend to get a couple of my head bolts loose. They were gunked and caked up=STUCK!

The only bolts that have ever pissed me off were the ones that snapped. LIke my front left intake bolt, snapped flush with the head [:@].

Wasn't on this go around, but I was replacing the lower intake and had it basically done when one of the bolts to hold the fuel rails down, snapped deep inside the intake, gotta say that one pissed me off bigtime!

Not pulling motor out but definetly the worst bolt I had to deal with was the bolts I was using to plug the back of my heads for my smog. Took me about three hours to get them in [:@] I baught the bolts too long so I cut them with my cut off wheel and them couldnt get them to thread back in... WOW, what a PITA!
