Later this week, I'm going to tackle a broken off bolt in a flathead engine block. It's a 3/8" diameter bolt that is broken and only about 1/16" is showing above the level of the block so I would think that the "welding on a nut" technique might not work. I would be afraid of either welding the nut to the block or messing something up in some way or other. So, I'm going to go the "easy out" (I hope) route. Got a new set of Snap-On easy outs and I'm almost ready to go. Here's my question. I've read that to get to the proper sized hole for the easy out to work, a guy has to start small (say 1/8") with a well-centered first hole, and then progress upwards to what I need. People have suggested here using left-handed drill bits. Should I start with small left-handed bits and use them all the way up, or do I use regular ones until the last hole and then use a left handed bit? Those bits are expensive little devils I must say. Any other suggestions you might want to pass on are welcomed. Thanks.
