Well, I've got two broken studs at just a touch over spigot height. Tried using both the tig, and mig yesterday to attach a nut, then a tapered bolt, to get them out. No joy!
The divilar remnant just seems to brittle. So I'm left with what feel like harsh options. A local machine shop wants to set the case half up, and drill them out, replacing with a time cert. The other option, is to crate the block and sent it to the west coast where this type of repair is a daily event. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks in advance!
