Help needed!!!
One of my cylinder head bolts has snapped. Any ideas? I was thinking of using a dremal to drill it out. Is this normal to happen. The engien runs with 3 screws init but down on power and leaking nitro everywhere!!! Advise greatly received. Thanks
 
Use the head as a guide center punch it find a left hand drill bit half the diameter of the screw. The drill will have to run reverse for this. Part way in it will grab and screw right out. Put a new one in and your done.Best done in a drill press if not a very steady hand. Good luck:D
 
if there is enough sticking out cut a flat spot in the remaining screw, then use a flat head to get it out, but if you can't reach it/it doesn't pop out enough then youll have to go with a diff method
