Well I had one exh. manifold bolt break right off flush with the head. So I drilled a little bit and TRIED to used and Easy Out to extract it.
Then the f'n easy out breaks off in the broken bolt and I fear im really screwd.
Any ideas on how to get them out. I started drilled the easy out and good f'n luck with that.
And I was on a roll with the engine too....

good luck with drilling an easy-out. You have to get the easy out burned out if you can't shatter it. Take the head to a machine shop that has a tap burning machine.

Well i used a punch and a really sharp chisel and I pretty sure i got all of the easy out, out but when i started drilled i got off center and at and angle
then i started a new hole right at the edge
if i do get it out probaly will have to have a helicoil and larger bolt.
And im using STUDS not f'n bolts
more than likely it going to the machine shop, they said they do them all day long for $45 but im pretty sure its going to be more when they look at it
and they said i dont even have to pull the head...
