BBC Broken exhaust manifold bolt Here it goes again with my 1994 Chevy P30, 7.4 gas engine. In the process of putting on exhaust manifold gaskets I sheared the head off one of the right side bolts, so I have about 1/2" sticking out. So far I've heated it red hot with a torch but it doesn't want to budge, at least not with a Vise-Grip. It appears the threads have a bit of an interference fit, i.e. the bolt threads don't seem to be cut full depth. Anyone have any ideas to get this bolt out? Tom

Never mind! I took my air chisel with a flat bit and rattled the bolt stub head-on. That loosened it enough to get it out with a Vise Grip. Thanks for reading. Tom
