Thanks for the idea, Tom. Since my bolt is recessed into the hole, is there any way to keep the weld from adhering to the hole? I'm not much of a welder, but it seems to me that this method wouldn't work for me because any weld that I put in would stick to the sides of the head inside the hole. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
