Broken tappet

<< < (7/10) > >>

Trigger:
They can be drilled out very easy. Start with a small drill bit, and when i mean small i mean 1mm. Then work up in size with bigger bit's. Make sure you keep it straight , true and slowly. Be very careful of any metal filings from going in to the engine. If not confident, DON'T DO IT. Take it to an engineer.

LesterPiglet:
That broken bolt will come out with vise grips. I can't see what you are point at on the cam.

Trigger:
Three bolts Les. Two either side of the cam and one on the outside edge.

bomber:
I'm afraid Les that is just a dirt in a shape of a bolt...

bomber:
Trigger, I'm not going to attempt drilling by hand, i did it in past and it went horribly wrong  :-[
Don't have pillar drill so have to find one, it is on to buy list...

Off to garage wish me luck :)
