Mole grips on the sheared end?
The bolts are just m6, get them from anywhere....

Stud extractor

[Nick]

Or one of those little chisel tap sets.

Chap who built my engine managed to get my sheared alternator bolt out from about 1cm inside the block !

[michael harbour]

weld piece of flat bar to broken stud and screw out with vise grips.

[novamadcars]

how much are
Stud extractors?

[coombsey]

a friend of mine works in a engine recondition place and he told me that using a stud extractor could do more harm than good take it to a engine place will cost less than you think

[bigbened]

use an extractor just watch that thread

[novamadcars]

this will sound silly now but how do you use an extractor?

[Ash]

I did the same all though it snapped flush, the thread was quite lose and i managed to push it round with a tiny screwdriver, which was lucky as i was just leaving for work.

see at the moment ive got some gasket sealent on it but i dont like the thought of that and would rather sort it out

It shouldn't cost you much for a cam carrier from a scrapyard? I've got a few smallblock 8v ones you could have, but you're a bit far away to collect them unfortunately.
