So - I am under the car doing a valve adjustment this morning and notice something troubling. No sure why I never noticed before but one of the #1 exhaust head bolts is gone. I assume its been gone for as long as I've owned the car. The PO had the motor rebuilt within a year of selling the car to me so I guess it snapped then and the builder never said a word.
So my question is what is the risk of running the car like this? Keep in mind its must have 25k miles on it with the bolt missing. Should I park it and replace? Drive it? Use this as an opportunity to by a Raby kit with new heads? Let me know. T Attached image(s) |
