        Pull the head off and take it to a machine shop and let them deal with it.

          Cost me just under $200 to have a shop fix it. Took about 3 hr. However thats bringing the car in without anything removed.

              If you have a dremel tool, you can use a cutting disc to cut a groove into the existing part sticking out of the cylinder head. Make it thin so it looks like the head of a screw that would use a flat-head screwdriver to remove. Then, use a flat head and remove.

              Another way is to use a set of vice grips and some Rust Eater.

                hehe Mine was basically fused into the head due to the stock manifolds leaking directly over the bolt. I also installed the headers and didn't fix it for like 5 months lol.
