Drill exhaust manifold bolt - Remove head or not?

Need to drain down the coolant for starters as the end manifold bolts go right into the water jacket.

@Oldmanmopar and his machinist/engine builder son have good luck using a welder to get them out.

One technique is to weld a washer to the broken stud first then tap tap tap then weld a 1/2" nut to the washer so you can get a wrench on it, tap tap tap then try and turn it out.

Heat from the welding helps to break it free.

Good Luck
