My guess is you are talking about one of the 6mm bolts that are on the head near the AC compressor. These are hard to drill out due to their size and location. Is the other hole still usable? If so just use that one. Otherwise just shoot for another location. Dennis

So what next? Should I just attempt to ground them some where else on the block? If so, any good candidates? I see that the A/C compressor is bolted to the block nearby. I could go for one of those. Or should I attempt to extract the offending bolt with an e-z-out and replace? I don't have a lot of clearance, so the e-z-out route might be difficult. Thanks for any insights!
