OK ill take ya word on this.Can i use my mig welder an weld around the bolts to make it stronger?

nitrous_bob

might be an ok idea...just tack it though

the tack weld will hold there...the jbweld will seal it

or i guess go all the way around it.......who knows

You can try but you will have little luck most likly. The heads are made of iron. Mig is not exactly the operation to use for that. You may get lucky to melt the metal to make it look like it welded together but it will probably not because the properties of steel and iron are different. Just try and take out that bolt, heat up the jb weld, and clean it the best you can by chasing the threads then go get the plugs that are specific for that purpose before you ruin the head. It will look loads better 2.

you are getting way too worked up about those bolts. I used 5/8" bolts in the back of my stock heads, and I ony used red RTV silicone on them.

just leave it alone. It will be fine!

leave it...

Exactly. Lets put it this way is there any carbon build up around any of the area? Good then there is no leak so it has worked just fine. I just purchased a 5/8 threaded rod that I will cut lengths of it to fit into the heads to make it flush. Similar to what Trick Flow has on summit.
