I had broken all four studs on one of the heads on my 2L-(used the wrong exhaust nuts). The head was off the car, so I took it to a machine shop and they welded nuts to the broken remainder of the studs. I thought it was a great idea, but they all broke again further down. Ended up having the machine shop drill and heli-coil. If you try to drill, start really small and work your way up. It made a big mess of the head when I tried to drill my self and the bit wandered off the stud and into the head. The cost was the same to have that one fixed as it was the other three. Good Luck!
