well after many attempts in the past 5+ hours and 3 rebreaks I give up for the night. This is a head on a 2000 5.4 Ford engine I rebuilt the bottom end on for some friends. the 2 back exhaust bolts were broken and I have found out it is a common thing on these engines. One of the bolts came out with a pair of channel lock pliers so it only makes sense that this one would be a very hard one.I tried welding a nut on spraying with wd-40 (thats all I had on hand) heating with a torch I can't find the brazing tip for this set of leads so I had to be very careful with a cutting tip still no good welded 2 nuts heated 4-5 times and now just about out of bolt so I think in the morning I am going to cut it off smooth and step drill it before I break it below the head and can't get a flat starting point. If I have to heli-coil it that's what I will do I did this job WAAAY too cheap trying to help some people and make a few $ too he and I are both out of work. Most shops in my area want more to just change the engine than I am getting for the whole pull-rebuild-reinstall. HOW DO I GET MYSELF INTO THESE SITUATIONS?????????

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
