Hey guys, I have been working on an old Dodge Flathead 6 that I acquired. It has been sitting maybe 20 years. I did the usual things and got it running , but rough,had a stuck exhaust valve on #2. And I do mean stuck !! Tried everything to soak, heat , wiggle , tap, wouldn't budge. I had to pull the head, even then it was a struggle to get the valve moving freely. Anyway, in spite of all my precautions, I still had 2 head bolts snap off. At first , I thought I was lucky that there was a 1/2 inch of broken bolt above the block surface. I cleaned, heated, soaked, and welded nuts on , but the studs merely snapped off below the welds. I welded on more nuts, same thing. I think the metal is just to degraded to hold. Now I am left to drilling them out. My idea is to buy one of those small drill stands that hold a hand drill and modify it so I can fasten it down to the block deck with bolts and then progressively drill holes in the old studs til I can pick or tap the remains out. They are SO rusted in I don't think any extractor is gonna work. I have never had the weld a nut on trick fail me before. Good plan ? Am I missing something ? Thanks !

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
