Hey, I need to know how to remove 3 rocker arm bolts, they are stripped already. I already tried hammering in a 3/8 12 point socket with no luck. Anyone?

I haven't found anything better than Kroil. Been using Kroil for over 10 years.the-big-e said:For stubborn bolts, I use a product from Kano Labs called Kroil Oil......I swear by that stuff.......It works great.....I've used it on everything from the seatbelt retractor, to squeakey door hinges, to rusted exhaust bolts.......

As for the rocker arm bolt problem, welding a nut on the top does sound like a good idea.

if they arent then it will be on my maybe list... cuz ima grind the bolt down and if that doesnt work then ima have to cut off the rocker arm in 2 and just get some off of a donor car from the junk yard or something... but yeah its gonna have to wait until the skies clear cuz rain is suppose to move overnight and that is gonna delay me big time.... oh yeah one more thing.... are the rocker arms the same for NA car? cuz if they are then i guess im saved... cuz i have a NA 3.8 from a 89 bird in my garage...
