No bolts. But in all honesty head stud #4 is completely stripped at the top. The washer wont budge. I think that one is the issue?

All the washers move around on the stud (I dont have a magnet strong enough or anything to get them off :/ )


All of the studs broke loose before a few stripped at the top. But that one wouldnt move at all.

Thats probably your problem then. That one is at the end of the block right? does the other side wiggle even a little? Not sure, maybe drill it out somehow or something, or see some of the suggestions above...

Otherwise....thermite?

Does this thing have studs or bolts? You have mentioned each about 15 times.

If they are arps. Can't you just tighten two nuts together on the end of the stud and then try to get off that way? Worked when I did it.

i was going to suggest that but he said only 1/4 inch sticking up.

i would try a magnet on one side and a pick on the othr to help lift washers up.

BFH!

The block has arp head studs. I removed all ten of the bolts that go onto the studs. But was unable to get the washers off of the studs themselves (so they are still sitting on the studs in the head). I was able to loosen and remove a couple of the actual head studs.

A few of the studs are stripped out and still inside the block.

But all bolts that hold the studs in place and apply the clamping force are removed.

Are 6 bolt arps 13mm head bolts ? Because my block has some weird stuff going on im discovering.

Sorry for the confusion. I mix alot of words up all the time. Im that guy. :p

Do you have a welder that you could use to weld a nut onto the stud after screwing it on until just about even with the stud head?
