Broken stud extraction

Holy crap, where have these been my whole life? Awesome idea!

Locking header bolts

Might be too late, I think the shop already started the teardown. I'll call and find out though.

Those are cool, I'd never heard of them before.

I've used them in the past, the idea is great but they don't always work as you'd like. My '71 Camaro kept blowing header gaskets, some of the time it was due to a flange bolt slightly backing out to heating & cooling cycles. I bought a nice set of stainless steel locking header bolts (Stage 8 IIRC?) and they were PITA to install and I still blew out the gaskets, but not quite as often.
