@$##@% Heads!

I'll try to talk you through this process. V e r y carefully and as straight in as possible put a dot of weld on the broken bolt end. I am assuming that it is a little below the surface. Be very carefull not to stick it to the iron of the head. Keep adding to the dot to build it up toward the open area. When you get it high enough, lay a flat washer over your weld. Weld the washer to the bolt. That done weld a nut to the washer. Let cool a bit and hopefully it will turn out easily. Did an end stud on a 318 head sunday night. It was off the car so it was much easier. Did an ex bolt on an AMC 360 in frame a couple of weeks ago. If you have any junk heads laying around screw a bolt in until it breaks. Do a practice run first. It takes a lot of patience. Did several on JD tractors last winter with a special stick rod. The bolts were much bigger but they were horizontal. I have some pics, hopefully they load ok.
