Don't use easy outs either. You will wind up making the situation worse. Sounds like they are rusted in there pretty good. Your gonna have to either remove the head and take it to a machine shop to have them remove it or just not use that bolt hole. If you smear some permetex ultra copper on both sides of the gasket, you should be fine and not have any leak.
I'd like to not have to remove the head. lol! Problem is that the bolts that snapped were on the same exhaust port. Good thing is that it's a BBK header so the pipes are stuck together with the plate. It may work without leaking if I tried putting the header on and used some RTV sealant. I think I'm going to try the easy out. Can't hurt more than it is right now.
I'd say like an 1/8th to 1/4" in.so how far in are the broke bolts? what have you tried so far to get them out, the RTV idea is most likely not gonna work.
Oy......why wouldn't an easy out work? I've never used one but it should work. Isn't that what those kits are for? lol!

90LxCoupe....it's currently not an option because when I do the heads...I'll be doing the whole nine yards. lol!
This just happened to me with a water pump bolt in the block. We used an easy out on it but we did it very slowly and took it easy with it. We managed to remove the bolt and now life is good again. Like they said above you don't want to break the easy out in the head.
