Thread-topic: removing a broken bolt
Yeesh.  Sometimes no matter how careful....
Carefully ratcheted the timing cover pedestal into the block when at "snug" the 
head twisted off.  Block was cold, pedestal 55 years old and may have been 
overtightened before...whatever.
Now I need to get it out.  Never had luck with curl-shank easy-outs.  Thought 
of drilling a hole and using a left-hand tap, then a left hand bolt to remove.  
Any other thoughts?
