  1. you are lucky you got your starter holes centered:-) i'm never that good"-(

    try JeTexas's idea with this twist.

    some of the machine supply shops like MSC and local supply stores sell lefthand drill bits, (they cut in the opposite direction). Your's sound like they may be to solid to pop loose but you might try it.

    get a set of the sizes you would use the drill out the stud in steps.

    Drill all the way thru the stud, have some modeling clay handy, squirt the lube up in and plug the hole for a day or 2.

    Then use the reverse bits to start drilling out the stud. if the bit does bind in the stud it may pop the stud loose. buy extra's i usually break one or two.

    Good luck and let know what works best.

    Lance:

    Quite an ingenious idea with the modeling clay as a twist! I'll definitely give that method a try, in addition to gradually increasing the drill bit size and using left hand drill bits. I just got a really good set with Cobalt extractors from my friend's machine shop.

    I'll keep you posted in a couple of days.

    Regards, Maurice.

    Maurice,

    You left us hanging. How did you finally get the studs out? How does the header and exhaust sound? What increase in HP have you seen?
