Had the car up on the lift and drained out some oil and it was clean. I am glad there is no coolant in the pan. I dont want a cracked block. I just want to be able to get the head off with out breaking it to see what condition the engine is in. I have been working on cars for 40 years so i know what i have to do i just wish the guy didnt break the head bolts off. It is only 3 and they are flush with the top of the head. I know the aluminum head is special but i am sure if i need to get another head i can. I do have a great machine shop i use they did a great job on my nailhead and has about 35k on it with no problems at all.
If you can mig weld, after soaking the broken bolts, clean the broken tops and place a large flat 7/16 washer over the center to protect the aluminum head. Turn the welder up so you get good penetration and weld a 1/2" or bigger nut to the broken stud.
TAKE your time! Start moving the nut back and forth and spray some Kroil now and then while doing this.
I have removed 30-40 broken head bolts this way.
