I started tearing down the engine I took out of our Triton and replaced with frankenfour. things went allright, until I tried to turn the engine over on my engine stand and the stand tipped over. Early model engine, I cracked the lid to the oil fill, broke two head studs right at the top of the block, and bent another. Suggestions as to how to get the two broken ends out would be appreciated.
My plan was to drill the stud remnants with drill bits, increasing in size until I get a hole large enough to put an extractor in. Then i would heat the area and try to back the stud pieces out.
I have also heard of welding a rod to the broken bit; the heat of the mig and a good weld can work.
