I've been better.

 

[nvrenuf]

Bah! Just get the good one reeaall tight.

 

[HOTFOOT]

just center punch it and drill it out, start small and drill all the way through the bolt

 

[Customblue]

Weld a nut to the stud, let it cool for a minute, back it on out.

@Rusty Nail had that happen. He might be able to help.

If you applied enough torque to break that off when loosening it, chances are an easy out ain't gonna fix it.


Might as well just drill it out and pick the broke bolt pieces out.

 

[Vbb199]

Oh! Oh! Oh!

I know!!!!


Just tig the neck to the intake! No more leaks ever again!

 

[Rusty Nail]

Oh noes. What a terrible thing to happen!

*speaking of terrible thangs....let's call Rusty in here. He can share with our misery.

Thanks? Prolly fair.



That deal I did was a heat thang I reckon.



Buuuut I never got it out. lol sad face

Here's a picture of it on the wall - I bought a different manifold.

I'm prolly not the guy to ask unless you have questions about what doesn't work. LoL



Maybe getting a different manifold is a good idea....I know that plan works pretty good.

Might even have one layin around or hangin on the wall.

This is why I keep a 1/4" and 3/8" 4 fluted carbide ball mill in my tool box (2-3 of each, actually). In an adjustable speed drill (cordless works good), they will go through that so fast you have to watch yourself not going too far.

Figured this out many moons ago with broken dowels and bolts in die shoes.

I find it usually breaks too.

Time for an edelbrock performer air gap.

Feeds and speeds.

 

[jake wells]

steel bolts in a aluminum intake don't mix.

Feeds and speeds.

I'd be thrilled if @Doppleganger could elaborate on what speeds and feeds he uses with his cordless drill.
