Tom,
I was able to removed all the 12 dilavar head studs including the snapped ones without any heat. And this was my second motor in
2011. I'm doing another one this winter. The very first engine rebuild I did in 1998 took me a day to get off the dilavar head studs using heat and all sort of vise grips. After learning your method, removal of these undesirable studs is just a piece of cake. Thanks for sharing your technique. BTW, save me a dozen good cylinder head studs for me. I would need them soon.
Tony
