Hello Troy,

Thanks for sharing this exciting project.

I see you have a number of sheared bolts to deal with here. I've got six similar sheared bolts to remove from my Twelfth series Eight block, from which I recently removed the water jacket. I'd be thankful if you or someone else with experience could please document or photograph your protocol for dealing with these?

I've done a little research on "easy-out' type devices. Is this the way to go? Are there tricks or techniques to maximise the chance of success?

Thanks in advance.

John

G'day John-

I will take some picks for you when I address them shortly. I will be setting the block up in the press and center drill in increments to #7 bit and re-tap 1/4-20.

I will be replacing all the hardware with Stainless Chrome
