I can't say enough good things about the Stomski SR065 Exhaust Head Repair Kit. All the Stomski stuff I've acquired has been well designed and useful, but this one really saved my bacon.
One of the studs used to secure the intake manifold to the head has snapped off. There is about 3 mm of stud remaining. I thought I was going to have to tear down my freshly rebuilt engine and send the head out to a machine shop. The Stomski tool works just as advertised. The threads were a bit loose, but some red Loctite seemed to address that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) No affiliation. Just sharing some good news, about a good tool, from a good vendor.   |

I have and use that kit as well. I too was not to excited about the loose threads afterwards, but good when no other options.
Next time place a nut over the broken stud and weld in the hole, then use a socket or wrench to turn it out… The heat usually helps break the stud free. |

And Induction heater has served us well when removing rusted, corroded and/or stuck fasteners.
Last time we used it is a very good example where this tool was worth the fee. A subfame fastener needed to be removed to install a drop kit to align axles/CVs on a lifted Cayenne. One fastener would not loosen. If this bolt breaks off inside the frame, you're looking at a really nasty problem to fix it. With an induction heater similar to this one, the fastener came loose without breaking off inside the frame allowing the drop kit to be installed! Something to consider. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLWGB8M8?psc=1&...dt_b_asin_title |
