    I used something similar and it didn't do anything.

    If I did need to drill and tap it could I flush the coolant passage to get rid of the scrap pieces? It is the #6 bolt in the lower intake manifold if that helps any......

    Last time this happened to me, (depending on how big the bolt is), i just spot welded a smaller nut onto it and then turned the nut and the bolt turns out. Dont know if you have a welder or if the bolts even big enough.

    I really don't know what to do with this. It looks like the bolt has become part of the block. like there was not even a bolt there to begin with?



    isn't gonna be a pain to drill and tap it?
