Couple days ago I drove Ol Red into town to help out a freind. When I got to his house he noticed AF dripping on the ground We poped the hood and proceded to look in all the usual places. What we found is unbearable. The very back head bolt is missing and anti freeze is coming out of the hole . I lugged it home keeping boost at 0. Dont know if it is broken off in block or backed out . Does anyone Know how long this bolt is???

 

I Don't know how long it is, but you can stick in a smaller, longer bolt and mark it at the head surface when it bottoms out. I'm sure the head bolts are all the same diameter, and that you could go from there.

It's pretty unusual for a head bolt to back right out and fall off though. Are you sure this is the problem?

 

Just got some help in from college. I'm down with a bad wing. We just stuck a drill bit down in the hole it appears that the head has popped off the bolt. Going to check on a set of bolts. Looks like that will be my Christmas Present

 

If you just replace the bolt, be sure there is no water in the hole. It will break somethin bad.

I'd look for head cracks with a broken bolt.......
