Message	So I'm pulling the heads apart during my rebuild to replace oil seals and whatnot and 3-4 bolts on each head are siezed in the cam caps. I got the caps off, but no matter what I try I can't get the bolts out. I've tried making a jig and pressing the bolt back in and that doesn't work, and when I do turn it, it doesn't go in or out, just spins with about a 30-40 ft-lb running torque. Not sure what to do because I can't reinstall like this. I think it'll either rip the threads out of the head or won't seat properly, or best case it does seat, but I won't be able to torque anything correctly. Any suggestions?
