broken header bolt....what yo think? well, when i got my lq9 i noticed that the rear bolt on the passenger side was broke off flush.
i was like, ok, i gotta extract that before i put it in.
well months later, the engine is assembled, and it and tranny is bolted in the truck for good.
went to install headers and guess what....... damn broke header bolt still there.
i am using the sanderson s10 headers, with gobs of sealant, question is, will it hold? or should i pull the header, and drill/xtract.
i can get to it fairly easy from under the fender, (no fenderwells)

yeah, but i have a fairly clear sightline to the bolt from under the fender, now that i think about it, i might be able to extract it without removing header. just drill and extract. i will try that.
