    That tool looks like a combination of a left hand drill bit on one end and an easy-out on the other.

    Nice tool to have on hand. Thanks for the link.

    If you try the welding method first, you will probably preclude any trys at drilling. Then the head will have to come off to repair.

    Im more confident that I can weld a nub on the end and wrench it out of there, the bolt is broken right at the edge of the head so it wont take much, if I *** the head up it just give me a reason to cam the damn thing and get my other heads installed...

    Yep. Heat from the weld will help.
