Oil breather is held on by 2 bolts



  850 T5. mmmm Turbo!
the rest have sheered off.

i took the breather off, and got some molies on the remaining threads, some came out, some seemed to snap off instantly.

if i take the rocker cover off can i get to the bottom of these bolts to drill them out?


cheers.

no, they're blind holes, and to take the rocker cover off is a cambelt off job. I'd cover the oilways with something and drill out the center of the bolt with a very small drill then use an easy-out

I've not seen those ones shear before, but i've removed broken cam cap bolts. odd they break so easily, the thread must be very bad or the bolts far too long
