Help, seeking a head

[Dupree, Jim]

Drill the head of the bolt off. I have done this with smaller allen or
triple square bolts. The socket shape of the head makes a good centering
method for your drill bit, just start with a drill bit that is the size of
the shank of the bolt. When you drill past the head of the bolt the remains
will pop off and you can remove the cylinder head.
It is easy on 6mm or 8mm bolts but I suspect a head bolt will be a little
more trouble.

Hi all,

I tried to take the last head bolt out of the donor car after getting the
other 9 came out easily and it stripped. I made sure I used the right tool
but it spun and rounded the edges of the bolt and the tool.  So, I am in
another pickle, either someone suggest an "easy" method of getting the bolt
off to remove the head, even if I could get the bolt head taken off would be
good.

Or I need another donar head local to the Guelph area in southern Ontario
please.

Any help would be great, thanks
