I tried that.Maybe a cutoff wheel making a slot and then a hammer and impact driver 'might have got it out. Another way might have been to punch and drill the top off in increments.
Cut a slot in it, than hit it with an air Chiesal.

It still has the hash marks for bolt grade in the top.I bet it looked like a standard hex head bolt, but it was somehow not correctly machined. The hex part spun off when a certain torque was reached. Much like those "Tork Bolts", but unintentional.
I remember seeing this in another thread! That still blows my mind lolI dont know, but the sob was tight, an air chiesel would not spin it out, I cut it off with a cut-off wheel, sacrificed the head.
It was tight, let the machine shop deal with the remains.
It still had the factory shim gaskets on the heads and intake, so most likely somebody had a bad day on the assembly line, he/she put it in the back farthest bolt on the passenger side, so it would be impossible to remove.
It still has the hardens hashes on it.
Fun, Fun

I could design a bolt with a hex that would break away but still leave the grade markings. Like I said, it could have been made wrong to start with.It still has the hash marks for bolt grade in the top.
Impact is not side to side as much as it is the downward shock load from the BFH that resonates through the fastener , hopefully breaking it loose.I tried that.
