{{stub|date=2015-08-27}}Head bolts, also called cylinder head bolts, are car engine bolts that are used to secure the engine's cylinder head to the engine block. Head bolts must be tightened correctly in order to create a leak-free seal between the cylinder head and the block, and the threads are generally coated with a fixative to keep them stationary. For this reason, it is not unusual to strip head bolts when you try to loosen them in order to work on your car engine. If you have a stripped head bolt on your car, there are several ways you can go about removing it and some may work better than others, depending on your car make and model. Follow these instructions for how to remove a stripped head bolt on a car. | {{stub|date=2015-08-27}}Head bolts, also called cylinder head bolts, are car engine bolts that are used to secure the engine's cylinder head to the engine block.
