long story short im trying to remove the two 14mm allen key bolts on the rear of the block, one of the left of the oil filter and one on the right, intake manifold is removed and the driver side bolt has been removed but the pass side is being a royal pain in the ass, seems to keep wanting to strip and it wont seem to budge...tried hand tools and air tools...was going to try a larger bit later w/hammer and an extra set of hands to hold it snug in place

but i was thinking more than likely im going to need to have to weld a nut to the plug and then go from there...any-1 in the ballwin/reinke area have a welder and could spare some time this weekend?

ill buy ya food and beer :biggrin: or $$ if need be....need this damm thing off asap
