So, I recieved my new crate motor from Ford the other day and I was installing my cobra lower intake manifold onto the motor when the front bolt stopped about 3/4 of the way down. I could not back it out either, so it was stuck. I figured that I would give it some elbow grease to try to back it out. Needless to say my ARP stainless bolt snapped on my aluminum head. Now the bolt is recessed a bit in the head with no way for me to get at it. I took the head off and went to a few machine shops but did not get very good responses. Alot of the "we will give it a shot" answers. Anybody have any ideas on what I should do here?
