I snapped one of the studs around the #3 cylinder on the intake side.  I've heard of other people using that method with mixed results. It seems like there's a little too much of a risk of snapping the bit off in the stud, leaving an even harder metal to drill out. I'm also not confident I can get the bit perfectly centered and straight so this engine is going into the machine shop this week.
