I have the SOHC motor where 6/8 of the main torx bolts are inside the head. I've been reading about how people suggest just cutting off the head off the bolt, but I think they were talking about the OHV motor.
I stripped the torx head of the bolt on on the passenger side - second main bolt from the firewall. I don't see how that can be cut? Even if I did manage to cut it, I don't think there is enough clearance to pull the head off the remaining stud.
The other 7 broke loose, just have this one bolt to deal with this. I did try torquing down the others again to relieve pressure on the bolt - no go.
Looking for suggestions on how to get this sucker out of the SOHC. HELP. Thanks! -DW
