Am I a Dumbass or what
Well its out, after about an hour of dicking with it from the top, grinding at it with various dremel tool bits and banging at it with a punch with no results.
I finally said screw it, if I take the head off then I can use a cut off wheel to cut a slot in the bottom end that's sticking out, and get a screwdriver into it. This is what I did and it worked perfectly. Once I decided on this course of action, it took all of ten minutes. Of course the upper part of the hole now has no threads left, but its a deep hole and there's a good 1/2" of threads left in the bottom half of the hole. Might need to us a little longer bolt on that hole, but all is well.
Except, I think I'm going to need to buy another new set of head gaskets, since some of it came off with the head, and some remained on the block. What do you guys think?
