headbolts are easy to remove. it should be easy to drill out. this is the main reason why i refuse to use stretch bolts and i always buy 12.9 bolts. works out cheaper to

see if you can get a lend of a mag drill. least then you know youll be drilling straight. chances are once you get to a 5mm bit youll be able to pick the old threads out with a tap. in the past ive welded another bolt to wear it snapped. but it all depends how much is sticking out. needs to be at least 3mm

Interesting replys peeps, im not doing the work myself, A engineering company is coming out tomorrow to remove it, So we will see what happens, i dont know how much if any Bolt is sticking out, by the looks of the length id say it pritty flush. Will let you guys know the out come.
If id had been doing this myself i think i would had weighed the car in lol,

Well not much been going on tbh, The engineering bloke From Robertson Colchester come out and done a blinding job getting the snapped headbolt out, no thread was damaged and he said it had been broke for a while.
So with the head off and at the machine shop having the valves cleaned and reground in along with the new valve stems being fitted i made a start on cleaning the engine bay.
Also cleaned up the rocker cover which had been siliconed to hell and am certainly glad we removed it as some of the oil ways were indeed close to being clogged up. This got a Good clean and paint.
Next step was to clean up and paint the inlet to,
Just waiting now for a couple of bits n pieces to turn up before the head being refitted along with a new waterpump and Timing belt kit hopefully next week
Will keep you peeps all informed
