Was putting my 66 head back on and using torque from fellas post. Went 35 first, 70 second and was going 96 last till the oil bolt and it seemed like it was giving, and sure enough, SNAP! Luckily with the hole in it, I was able to use a long rod on an easy out to get it right out. I wasn't tight in hole. I assembled the rest of engine head, am thinking I can get the bolt in fine when I get one. NOW, where do I get one? Agco have such a thing? Any brand will have similar? Any suggestions? Is the torque on that bolt supposed to be less, cause of less metal in it?

I have several of those broken bolts laying around the shop.
Torque it to about 15 pounds less than the rest. It will not break and still hold just fine.

OK, Jerry, least I'm not the only one and feel better about it now. BUT, where do I get one? Agco can get for about $55!!!! Wow! Seems there is a 1/2 by 5" and also 5-3/8" depending on serial. Mine is the 5", it broke clean. Since I've owned this Oliver, I find parts harder to find than my MM's. Manuals are not sourced thru regualar places and parts in ag big stores are few. What's the deal? Oliver keep to themselves so you had to go to them?

What happened to Oliver was White Motor Company. After that it was down hill all the way.

My uncle used to own an Oliver dealership. When White decided to buy Oliver out he dropped the franchise because he knew how White had handled other companies they had bought out and he didn't want to down with them.
