Don't drill too far, you'll enter the water jacket. Buy/rent/borrow a Right angle drill and shorten the drill bit. (or Right angle chuck adaptor for your existing drill). Use a 110v drill, cordless drills won't be good for drilling out studs. Better yet, get a reverse drill bit and run the drill in reverse. If you're really lucky it will spin out the stud as you drill into it. >I guess the things to not do are: >1) drill into the engine block...stay straight into the bolt >2) break off the easy out (as it's hard to get/drill out)
