    350x removal problem

    85 350x





    i need some advice or help.
    i have a 85 350x with corrosion and after i took the head cover off
    took the 4 nuts off and when it was time to remove the bolts they were corroded
    or just impossibly tight i had someone hold the engine and used a long pole for leverage and attached to a socket wrench with a 12mm socket that fitted perfect.
    if we use a compact drill it could break it but that is going to be out last resort.
    the socket wrench was a half inch snap on special edition extra long and we put a bar on the handle to make better leverage and it partly rounded.
    i live in oregon city oregon. theres a cycle salvage place i can get parts or i could use ebay.

    about the engine.
    it hasnt ran in about 10 years
    its side case was damaged by the chain snapping and that allowed water to get inside
    not too long ago i drained the engine and put new oil in it before that the piston siezed so i poured some oil in the head and it freed the piston
    the bike was smoking so either the rings or the valves are 95% chance of the problem if you ask me.

    i need to know how to get those bolts out.

    The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.
