Wrenchability sounds like a superfantastic featureism to me...

If you cant get it out, dont drill it etc. Take a large nut ( 3/4") , center it over the broken bolt, and touch off the mig welder a few times inside the nut and weld the stud to the nut...it will come right out. Its better than taking the chance of getting drill filings in the motor.




I've done the welder and nut thing before, it works
but I also have the welders to do it. I sure hope it
wasnt bottomed out for you

Could just be a fluke. Everything breaks. I was just talking to a guy that had two ARP studs break during install in a cummins.

I have used the manley bolts on 4 occassions now without issue. I hope you can get it out without too much trouble.

I just had a problem with a Manley bolt bottoming out last week. It was one of the med. length bolts in the left front with Indy -1's. I was torqueing it down and it felt springy so I new what it was so I took it back out and I could see the bottom thread was shiny. I put a hard washer on it and then it torqued down fine. My heads are milled .060. Manley says to install them at 70 ft. lbs. dry. They say they have a dry film coating on them that does not need any other lube. I also plug weld a nut on a stubbern stud to get it out. As soon as you stop welding, while it is still hot you can touch a candle to it and let it suck the wax around it. This works good if the hole is rusty. If it is just bottomed it probably won't help.

If you can't do as Dr. Diff suggested, another way is to drill a series of overlapping 1/8" holes in line so as to make a screwdriver slot.

well I pulled the heads off and there was just enough for me to grab the top of the bolt and get it out...... if anyone wants to buy my other manley headbolts pm me.... I only installed one side and of course the other side is missing a short one now.
