Bunch of monkeys, and the balls to charge over a grand! I've never been near EA and seriously never plan to, as said never heard ANYTHING positive.

It is an Allen head on standard Skyline head bolts.

Is it on a PowerFC? If so, that's probably because injector duty is high or it is knocking.

PowerFC's use the original management light as a warning for these things.

I'd say the same if it wasn't posted by one of the more respectable members of this forum.

That Allen bit is located in the head bolt and probably can't come out due to the rocker cover. It's not like the engine would be shaking around violently anyway, unless it was fucked.

Let me get this straight..
They left an engine wrapped around your allen key?
Thats just plain careless... I'd have words with them for that.

On a side note I think I win the free tool comp, based on size, having found a full size crowbar between the radiator and front panel in my XR2.
I shudder to think what they were actually using it for..
