I am putting on SLP Shortie headers. I have everything off. I have only one problem--one broken exhaust manifold bolt in the cylinder head. I have tried easy outs, but they have just snapped off. I really don't want to have to pull the head either. o and it broke off flush with the head. Someone told me about someone who specializes in broken exhaust manifold bolts, that uses stainless steel rod to built up a weld on the bolt to bring it out a ways and then welds a bolt to it. I was wondering if anyone knew anyone that specialized in broken manifold bolts in Michigan--that might make a house call. Any help would greatly be appriated.

 

Go to Sears and buy their bolt extractor kit, it works better than a easy out and should be about $25 for a kit. Another thing you can try if you have the room is to mig weld a smaller diameter stud or nut onto the broken bolt and use the exposed portion you welded to useat the broken bolt.
