Geezer.... we did alot more than snap them off...... we spent about 4 hours getting the head off, we had to drill the head bolts and use a chisel to remove the top of the bolts, then use an arrangement of chisels to pry the head far enough away from the block to use an angle grinder to cut the botto...

Last event there was an evo vs skyline track session or something, few of them seen our event and have kept coming back it seems, also the japnats time attack was on so few were spectating that and jumped at the chance for an hour and a half of track time for 50 bucks.
