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.

Subject: busted ground bolt on engine block

Hi all -

In attempting to clean my ground wires on the engine block, I busted the
head off the bolt holding them in place.  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!

Mark
