Dremmel no doubt did a cleaner job than my hacksaw. I used a thread file to clean up the cut I had made up the side of bolt. Nice clean hole makes for more accurate torquing plus it saved my butt by alowing removal of broken stretch bolt. Also I was lucky.
Later,
Bob in NY

When i did a friend's head gasket, we used an old
bolt, and I dremeled slots along the length of one of
the head bolts to make a tool to chase the threads and
clean them out. That seemed to work for his engine,
at least so far...
Is this the kind of thing you're talking about?
