Thanks Gas for all the info in this Post! I bought a salvage 5.3 LS Motor that had three broken exhaust bolts. The first one took me five or six tries to get it out. I'm a nube at welding and wasn't making good connection on the stud. I kept turning up the heat and speed and finally was successful on 5 heat setting and 6 wire speed. On the second and third bolts I was successful on the second try.
