m1 ? need fast help

andy

i broke the front and back intake bolt  want to know if both of those are in water jackets. i'm f*^king praying that i don't have to pull the dam head

.Not sure but how much force were you using on the bolts?  Once you remove the intake manifold it will be easy to get the remaining stud out

.not an insane amount both bolts are rusted. they both started to act like they were going to come loose then snap. so i really don't know/

.well if they were rusted, then the top just broke off the bolt, no ?

.yep just where the threads start

.so then they should be stuck in the intake.  take off the intake, heat the remaining part of the bolt with a torch if you can get one, and take them out.  i did that with one on my intake.

i had the front one break off on me...just pulled the intake and then used a shit load of wd-40 and PB-blaster for a couple days and tapped it with a hammer a bunch of times and then went out and got a killer nice set of vice grips...AND OUT SHE CAME!

.i could only wish these are suck in the head. the intake lifted right with no prying. you can see where the bolts come through the head, the threads are outside of the block (if that makes since). there is no piece of the bolts that i can get a hold of to get them out. i hope to be able to drill them out and retap them or use a threaded insert. pics to come..I just did an IDENTICAL job this winter.  I highly doubt you will be able to drill it out, trust me i tried.  You need a rigid setup, aka a machine shop.  I did it myself cuz thats what i do for a living, but it shouldnt be too expensive to have a shop do it.

.Isn't there some sort of drill bit that, as you drill through the bolt it'll create a new thread INSIDE the bolt,

where you then put in another bolt, and as you turn it in, it turns the bolt in the opposite direction?

(kind of like a righty loosy bolt, or lefty tighty, then as you're turning left to tighten it, once its tightened it starts turning left loosy the broken bolt) ?
