So not even a week from my melting plug ordeal, my vtec solinoid bolts decided to shear themselves off below the head surface.

I started spewing oil on 40w Saturday after work and after a let the car sit and cool overnight. I take a look. Oil is flowing like a vein from my vtec solinoid. I discover I'm missing 2 of the 3 bolts suddenly. So I find bolts and they won't go in. I pull the vortech mounting block behind the solinoid and I see one clean hole and 2 filled with metal. Good week huh.

I figure one broke loose earlier but once that second one gave it was done
I searched the forums and this happens more than it should. I even called vortech and they said they know about it. Said " it happens" . I asked if they sell titanium replacements , the Guy says " that would help but no".

So anyway, is anyone skilled at pulling extracting subsurface bolts. The heads aluminum so I'm really nervous about trying and I don't want to spend a g if I don't have to. I will if needed, I'm not trying to be cheap, just checking my available resources. Thanks guys
