I believe he used a mig welder to build up the bolts that were flush with the head in order to get something to grip onto. However, as much as I didn't want to spend that kind of quid on the job, I'm still within my budget.

The tech did also say that he removed an axle and a motor mount and titled the engine forward to give himself more room to work.

For the price its a tool i would recommend everyone to have in their tool box! i hope all expensive repair bills are behind you now with many miles off fun ahead
