Well my luck ran out-was on my last stud and third pass when the speedmaster stud broke deep down in the block. #10 bolt fwiw.
Can anyone recommend a certain extractor set or easy out type tool?

Should I try reverse drill bits or??

Depends which cylinder.

I like left threaded drill bits to tap what's left of the old bolt. On most of the low torque bolts like the intake manifold I can get them out with just the drill bit

If you use an extractor, attach the extractor bit to a socket and turn the bolt out by hand. Using a power tool with the extractor has never worked for me, but it might work better with an impact and not a drill

Oreilleys sells a left handed drill bit and extractor set, if you go to autozone you need to purchase the left handed drill bits and the extractors separately.

Try the left handed drill but first, once you get a good size hole in the bolt try the extractor

Its the 10th head bolt in the torqueing sequence. Not sure if an extractor would even fit. I was planning on stopping by home depot on the way home to see what they have.

Luckily I was able to get it out with a hf left hand threaded drill bit.
