Dirt on engine

[Jeppie]

Hello,

I have some problems containing the bolts on my 1.3i endura-e engine.
Due to dirt mixed up from a leak caused by lack of attention probably from the mechanic (wich i have already fixed), i cant get the bolts lose, and i really want to port the heads etc.
I was hoping that some of you got some good advice for me.

greetings,

Give the bolts a really good soaking overnight in a penetrating lubricant, like Plusgas for example. That should give you a fighting chance to untighten them. make sure the tools you use are of good quality so as limit the possibility of rounding the head of the bolts off.

Hello and welcome to the nuthouse mate

gas then to heat them up.

penetrating oil and gentle tap to tighten the bolt can break the seals to help lossen them off. down side is you could end up shearing the bolt
