Thanks. It's been a long process with the 'bird. Started out as a 6 speed swap, then snowballed into a full on mechanical re-do.

Hey man, I'm happy for you considering all you've been through with the flooding.
Car is looking great!
Just wondering about the brake master you're using, I've looked online and found that most are plumbed on the passenger side, what S10 did yours come from?
Thanks in advance.

Wanted to get the broken exhaust bolt out of the head. Seen that mig welding a nut to them typically works. Well that's where it started going down hill for me. Mig weld melted into the aluminum head, didn't stick. Couldn't get the bolt out. Weld kept breaking.

Second try at removing the broken exhaust bolt + weld. Got some left hand drill bits and extractors. Center punched and started drilling with a 3/32 bit and tapmatic fluid. Was going great. About 1/2" deep I broke the drill bit off in the bolt inside the head. It broke clean and none sticking up to "grab" on to.

Then I grabbed a 1/4 bit and tryed to drill the whole bolt out. Knowing you can't drill a drill bit, I had to try. Well I got through the weld and down to the bolt with drill bit stuck in it and that's is as far as I can get

Any suggestions on what step to take next? Can a machine shop fix my mess up or do I just buy a new head? 07 LS2 243 head

Thanks

The master cylinder is from a right hand drive s10 from what I remember Tobin @ Kore3 told me
