What I dislike is those little 1/4 inch bolts in the water plates,, there is always one out of the whole bunch that seems to break off. had one that broke 5 of em!! ended up setting it up in the mill and drilled and tapped em back out. Had one time, the head stud snapped,,,, drilled the center of the bolt out,,, still no movement,, took it to a shop that had a small plasma cutter and he was good at running it!! He cut that bolt right out and never touched the threads in the block!! see, on some of em,, the bolts sit in the coolant,, so its thru all the way thru the casting,,, some, have the holes sealed from the casting,,, so might work, or might not,, depending on if its open or closed in the bolt hole.. If when ever possible,, try to set it up in a drill press or mill with a carbide bit and slowly drill em out. The press or mill holds things still and straight so the bit does not wander and eggshape the hole. Maybe even heat up the block with a torch to aide once things are set to remove,, or attempt to remove. Its not fun, but it can be done. take your time. Chad
