OM616.
Didn't clean out the bolt head recesses properly and was careless in aligning. Rounded two out.
Had to special-order drill bit from local construction supplier and buy decent drill.
Bought used drill at garage sale. DOH. Eventually found internal (clutch?) parts worn out. Had to go way slow.
Eventually drilled out bolts.
Tried to remove head for hours on end. No go.
Neighbour who previously worked in a shop tried for two hours. No go.
Tow to shop. They try for three hours. Finally find last two fasteners we all missed. (They are embarrassed over missing the bolts so they only charge 1 hr.)
Shop did compliment me on clean drillout job for the head bolts.
I voted under the "drinking" category.
EDIT: Very important... I was not a member here back then. Had I been... things would have been different.
