Hey as title says, I am freaking out because I snapped the bolt off into the lower half of my mrev2. Please don't leave comments about how I must have overtightened the bolt ( I am very aware of that ). I bought a tap and die set to take it out but I can't get it so what do I do?

thanks

 

Scrap the motor.

What was the issue with the tap? Did you try an Easy-Out?

 

Is it one of the inside bolts, or one of the outside? If it is one of the outside, drill it out, and use a bolt and a nut to secure the plenum.

 

You just made a hell of a mess. JEEZ. PM me and I will walk you thru it. tomorrow

 

are you saying it went into the motor (the block) or is it luckily caught by the valves?

 

No I bought a titanium tap and die set because I read on the search forums thats what lots of people do in this situation. Two of the drill bits broke and I am just so discouraged. I feel like a fukin newb.

 

It is the middle bolt on the bottom that goes into the oem plenum. I was tightening it up and it broke off inside the lower part of the inside. DEEP down

 

I think I understand what your saying but I think neither but not sure. It broke off while still threaded into the MREV2

 

Alright sounds great, I should be off work today by 1500........I am on a detail for the military and will be off by than but any help you can give me would be much appreciated. I am hoping this has not messed up anything on my engine.
