Upon removing a broken exhaust stud that was flush w/the head, the easy out broke off in the stud. I was only on the second turn when it snapped, so its not in to far. I grounded it flat and started drilling over again but the easy out is so hard that its impossible to drill through. I’ve grounded away as much metal as possible to try and get past it so I can resume drilling. I’m now ½ into the stud (broke completely flush w/head) and now that I’m drilling again I’m hardly putting a divot into the stud.
I’m using good drill bits (cobalt and industrial bits), good drill and, drilling at a medium speed and oiling the bit/stud. My dad and myself have been working on this the past two nights and its impossible to get a hole drilled. I drilled the original hole w/a crappy bit and was done in about 5min. Now there is prolly about 40min of drilling.
The head is still on the block but if anyone has suggestions/ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
