So I've now replaced the 9 'non-siezed" coil pack bolts with new ones, using an appropriate anti-sieze paste.
That still leaves the remaining 3 siezed ones to remove. It's probably an engine-out job to get sufficient access, and my Indy Porsche maintainer has suggested getting an engineering shop to remove the stuck bolts using spark erosion. I've googled this to get a basic understanding of how the process works. Does anyone have an experience of using this process to remove siezed bolts from an engine? I had expected them to removed by drilling, retapping and potentially a time sert or helicoil.
