I'm trying to change the head gasket on the car but the torx screw that's holding the engine block what budge every time I try to unscrew them it's eating the screw instead of unscrew it.

Hi,

Although a torx will fit, the bolt head requires a 10 mm bi-hexagon wrench. It has more blades than a torx and will prevent it from stripping the bolt.

If you have a pic of what is happening, upload it for me to see. Hopefully, I'll be able to provide suggestions

Let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
