Default IH Bolt in head

Any suggestions on removal, a cobalt drill bit hardly scratches the surface.....will probably leave it to the machine ship.

If the head is off, I'd let them put it on a Bridgeport and drill it out and remove it.

well I could talk all day about doing it but I think you might be better off taking it to them and getting it done. I had to do it to a camshaft once.

I tired to get it out and failed so I took it to my local machinist good old dude and he got it out, and it was a new ARP bolt snaped in a LT5 cam.

If you cannot find a local shop that wants to mess with it just send it to me and I'll slapp it on the Bridgeport and do it for free just because I like you Lee. Hahaha! A carbide endmill will go through that cobalt drill no problem.
