I'm replacing the long cylinder studs in my block because of rust at the
end of thestuds. As usual, Murphy's Law, I have two that I can't get out. One broke
off atabout three inches long. I've treated it with penetrating catalyst hopeing
for someluck.

I need suggestions from someone who has had experience with the same
problem.  Oneis a blind hole and one is a thru hole. BIG QUESTION: can I put the halves
backtogether, torque it down and apply some heat to the thread area, or is
that a greatbig NO NO. Does anyone have any ideas????

Thanks,
Pete Inman
