I just finished pulling off both heads last night to get them worked at the machine shop (I checked he knows IDI heads) but while I was breaking loose the head bolts on the passenger side one of the external (outside the valve cover) bolts threads were so rusty when I gave it one last good tug with my long half inch ratchet I got a broken head bolt...now the issue is its rusted and seized in there but to my advantage about 1/2" is still exposed out of the block. I soaked it in PB blaster twice last night and I'm gonna repeat that tonight but I feel like any kind of extractor is out of the question. I have a bad a$$ snap on air hammer and an impact driver ( hand held thing you hit with a hammer to extract screws and such) so my first idea is to chisel a good groove in the top of it and try the impact driver...or maybe trying to flatten two sides and use vice grips...any advise with extracting these would be greatly appreciated!
