As most have already read, i was planning on putting explorer heads and intake on my car. Well. i had to sell my gibson to a local guitar store and got **** for it along with a ibanez acoustic i had...so i got the money and went down to the shop with cash in hand and was real excited and wudya no the sob sold it on me.

So i remember that the stock heads on the motor had rounded bolts in the #1 and #5 right in front of the antifreeze chamber.. So i got lucky with the #5 cylinder but the #1 cylinder wont budge or drill through.. I am takeing the head off today to try and drill it from the back..

Any rec on what kinda bits i should use.. and if its a success will the head leak? I just want to get things right.. Any steps or procedures that are proven can help cut time.. appreceated

thanks

Now don't take this the wrong way but me and a friend were discussing this the other day. When it comes to things I am selling, I DO NOT and WILL NOT hold something for someone unless they give me money to hold it. In this day and age too many people say I want, I want, I want and never show up with money. In the time the guy says Im buying it, and the time he actually does (when they usually or sometimes don't) you turn people away and lose sales. I in the past have held stuff trying to be nice, turn away or tell other potential buyers the item should be sold, and then lose out on all sales when the person backs out. Not saying this was you but I can't blame the person if you didn't give a deposit.

Now it still sucks to lose out on a deal. I have lost parts because I didn't act right away. Just remember deals will always come up, so don't get too down!
