[SEL] Head bolt stuck

[tamatea whanau]

The old mechanics had two methods i know of one was heating the stud and
then putting paraffin around the base of the stud on cooling it draws the
paraffin in or the other method was to heat the stud and then cool it
rapidly with a cloth dipped in water and then unscrew this used to work
quite often  use some vice grips or could file the stud square to get better
traction with a cresent other wise if it has broken off at the head itself
then put a washer down and then a close fitting nut on top and then fill
around the nut with weld and undo i use this method as pretty much always
works i put the washer down so i dont weld the nut to the base metal just as
a precaution.  brent nz

Hi All,
I have a flat head six cyl engine with a head bolt broken off.  Its been
advised to use a product called MO-44 Rust Buster (Supco Products) along
with
heat to remove the broken stud.  Was wonderinging if any one has used this
product with any success?
thank you in advance,
Curt Andree
