I am such a noob

So i was pulling the head off of my S13 SR20DET and i stripped one of the bolts. But it gets better, a friend decided to pound a 12 point 17mm socket on to it and now that's stuck on their but i doesn't grab hard enough to move the head bolt. I need help ASAP!

when i took my head bolts off i made sure i bought a new socket for it because i didn't want any problems.
Maybe you can try getting a set of bolt outs and use that. Make sure you hammer it onto the bolt head first

you need to take that shizz to a machine shop. Don't F up your head because of a stupid bolt.

You should used an EZ out on the bolt to grab it out.

i had to go out and make a special trip to get the socket, it brand new. But i did manage to get the socket out. I thought about it, and what if i buy JB weld and put it on the socket and pound it back on, after it cures i should be able to get it off.

jb weld will break.
dude just clamp a vice-grip on it and trun it out. if that doesnt work, once, due to lack of the right tools, i cut 2 sides of a bolt head off and used a box end wrench to get it out.
really man, its a bolt. if its not broken off into the head you can and will get it out. and if you think you'll screw up the head in the process, cough up the money and take it to a machine shope as breadbox proposed.

machine shop probably the best bet, he's not going to be able to do that pj since the head bolts sit under neither the carrier for the cams and there's really no room to work with, only the hole that's there for the socket to fit through

I GOT IT OUT!!! WAHOO!!! i took some tape and wrapped it around the 10mm hex socket and pounded it on their. Then i took a breaker bar and shocked it. Sucks though, #1 piston has a a lot of scuff and grooves on the skirt

[pj]

he's not going to be able to do that pj

yeah, he did say it was an sr....im stuck in OG single cam mode dude
slap me later

[Justin35ll]

glad you got it out
