I broke a bolt for the cap in the head. First I searched this and found a few ways ez out stuff like that and it didn't work. Anyone know another way to get it out or can I just drill and tap to the next size bolt. Thanks
 
Ez out maybe, or retap that seems like a lot of work, if you mess up youll need a new head. Any way you can but be careful may be easier to get a head if you dont know what your doing you dont want to make a mistake, or have a shop do it, i have a shop that does that stuff here saved me when i have broken bolts.
 
It seems nothing is going good with this build I put the new head on and gasket now a bolt snaps FML.I'll try drilling it some more.
