Re: Broken head stud
To answer why welding the washer/nut works all answers given make sense but it also puts the torque right at the thread and using an impact also helps to loosen any rust holding it. If you put an impact on the top of an intact stud it would just vibrate the shank.

Re: Broken head stud
Don't beat yourself up, we have all been there. Years ago I had just installed a rebuilt block but told the builder that I wanted to do the painting my self. I wanted to be sure the block was grease free and I wanted to see that new looking copper gasket. The builder gave me a set of new studs. Sure enough, I broke a stud while torquing the head down using a torque wrench. The repro studs were lousy. You would have seen a grown man cry! A club member came over to my house with his mig welder and we used the washer and nut method to remove the stud. It worked perfectly. I have since used this method down to #10 - 32 screws and have been very successful. By the way, I have never recovered from the broke stud incident. I hate to torque cylinder heads! Ed
