Hi i found that my extractors where loose due to 3 sticks that the nuts are meant to tighten broke. Do i need to replace the whole engine block or can i replace the missing sticks? Please help

3 studs are either too short or have broken off.

lol this happened to me as well, but mine is a manifold goin to my turbo ><. i tried drillin but it was almost impossible because wat ur drilling into is the studd. mine was broken off flat at the block. if urs is only half broken maybe u can do somthing about it. for me it was an excuse for a new engine :D
