Have you tried to weld a nut to the broken part to get it out?
man that sucks. might be time to upgrade, you can call up patriot performance and get a set of new 243 LS6 heads with LS6 springs for 450, and they will boost your CR alittle for alitle more power.
Somthing to think about.
it broke clean off even with the head. then thats where I f'd myself by trying to use and easy out.Quote:

shipped? might just do a cam too....there goes my budget:ma:
i wonder how much CR it will give me?
Gotta consider they get heat cycled while the truck runs. You can always put a helicoil in the hole if you get it oversized a bit while trying to fix it.
