Thanks for your help everyone - you saved me a lot of time! For the record its a 10mm bolt that, in my case, was covered with years of dirt built-up. I'll be tackling the other one in a bit and...

I've tried tightening them but it still leaks pretty bad. I'll give new crush washers a go first and pray that stops the leak. Great suggestion on getting the lines rebuilt that'll be my next step if...

If the impact doesn't work out I'll pick one up. Thanks for the offer but it only makes sense if I were borrowing it from someone local.

I was going to try that actually but I'll have to move the radiator out of the way so my impact gun will fit. I've got a decent gun so I expect it'll do the job. Id rather not buy the lock if I can...

Anyone willing to lend me their flywheel lock?

I've got a 79 auto and wanted to see if there was anyone in the Portland area that would be willing to lend me their flywheel lock?

I might be interested in 84 cams if they're euro :-) Otherwise I think it would be best to stick with the 78-79 cams.

Called Roger and he has exactly what I'm looking for. Apparently the OEM bolt is NLA? His part was custom machined and is much stronger than factory.

I'm soo relieved! Thanks gentlemen.
