I have to agree with farmall, using a nut one size larger than the broken bolt seems to work the best for me. Crank the heat up and weld from the center of the bolt to the outside and up to the top of the nut. Dont be too concerned about weld sticking to the block because it is cast iron and will come right off. Do the weld hot and fast, all at one time. After welding let it cool and you are "usually" able to turn the bolt out. Bad thing about this method is once you start you are committed to finish it this way, the top of the bolt will get very hard and will be difficult to drill. I very seldom use an "easy out" because too often I break them off and then you are really in pickle.
