Bolt is broke in head

Well there is a HUGE story to my car but I wont get into that right now. I was looking at the bolts on the exhaust manifolds yesterday and the front bolt on the primary on the drivers side is snapped clean off in the head. Can I get it drilled out or am I better off buying another set of heads?

Get it drilled out! Much cheaper then getting a new set of heads!

Try an extractor, "easy out", whatever you like to call it.

If you're putting headers on the car, you'll most likely use the other set of holes.

Re: Bolt is broke in head

Let me expand on Mindgame's remarks. This would be a perfect oportunity to upgrade to headers. LT1 heads along with a lot of the gen1 stuff have two bolt holes on either end, the outer one manifolds use, the inner one is where most headers boltup. So instead of spending the money on pulling it apart and drilling it out you could put that towards headers and just not use that hole anymore.
