are you talking about arp heads bolts? because the stock ones are similar to an allen wrench.

So you already knew what the problem was, you just didn't realize it?

Glad you learned how to remove the studs/bolts/whatever...

is there any other way to get them out? because i bought a full socket set that had hex heds in it and the quarter seems to fit but it started to strip it out.

it looks like a 12 point socket could get it off but it wont. im halfway thinking about getting a bolt extractor kit and seein if thatl work. im junking the head bolts anyways when i build up my motor and getting some arp head studs so you think thatl work with out doing too much damage to the head/ block

Metric hex heads will work a little better.
