Broken exhaust manifold bolt in a 5.3 going into an OBS

Weld a nut to it and back it out with a wrench or socket

[Ray@NP]

just try and weld a bolt to it and extract it, it dont seem like it would work for that long

thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I do not have a welder. I will see if one of my buddies have one I can borrow. Or put the engine in my old man's truck and take it to a body or metal shop that has one.

Also, the bolt in in kind of deep with all the drilling that was done. U think welding a bolt head on there will still work?

Pull the head, take it to a machine shop.

At this point machine shop is probably gonna be the best option.

Im gonna have to try the welding trick as I too have a busted bolt in one of my heads.
