no no, its right BEFORE the head breaks off...
on a side note, since the head was on the car when the bolt broke, like everyone had said the bolt should not be tensioned. It should come out pretty easy. Find you a left handed drill bit if it will reach it. If not U luz has a good idea just make sure that you don't put to much JB on it to get on the threads and not the broke part of the bolt.

WTF? Do you ever listen to anything I say to you. Lets see: Call Bruser for info, think about info, does opposite of info, post thread. Seems to be you in a nut shell. Did you get all the water in holes out? Where did you get the wrench, I had one here at home?

If you drill it out, just be very careful where those shavings go. Also the last time I saw your motor is was pretty bare. Just yank it out and let a pro shop do it. Spend some money and time to be safe. Just my .02

see what you have to do is, borrow a car, or have someone give you a ride, get to gas station, pump 2 gallons in a can, drive back home, open can, pour fuel on the engine bay, light a match, start new life, profit!

hey bitch
just asking but did you clean out the holes and chase them before going back to reinstall the new bolts? gotta be careful with that ****, and this is just a tip, since i know you wont search, use one of your old head bolts, grind down two side to take the "threads off" grinding on oppisite sides, and clean the grinds off.... use that as your ghetto tap (but it works, i spend 2 days trying to find a tap that was long enough and the picthe was correct, no luck so i just had to make my own) anyways do that and then reinstall all your things on there
