Slowly build weld up until it gets close to flush with the deck surface. Once flush sit the washer over the hole and weld the hell out of it to the weld that you built up. Then most of the time you can take an impact gun and try to buzz the nut off. Don’t use a regular socket wrench you need to use an impact. I have used this method to get broken exhaust manifold bolts out of ls cylinder heads many times.
Also use a mig welder not an arc welder.
Another note. Let the weld cool completely as it will be expanded slightly because of the heat.

you lost me, i read this 3 times and dont understand.

I've got the engine out of the car now. We're going to try and get the bolt out with the engine out with all of you guy's advice. Thanks again.

And btw I pulled my alternator stud out and this happened

lol I think I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow

And for the grand finale, hopefully anyway. Just a heads up for everyone, NEVER use a hammer anywhere near the block. It's definitely going have to be resurfaced at the machine shop now. This happened when I was tapping my EZ out in and missed since it was at a tricky angle by the firewall and A/C line.

My man, I appreciate the fact that you are sharing quite a few unfortunate mishaps. Hope it's all behind you!

After seeing this even I’m going up to 20 milligrams of BP meds.
