Did it hurt when it broke offin your head? LOL
Don't know what you mean by machined, but the studs are threaded. How you get a broken one out, it all depends, but you need to be careful not to damage the head. May want to let a machine shop do it.

Yeah, if you damage the stud tower the head is junk. You may want to replace the 5/16" studs with the stronger 3/8" studs, and use stud girdles if you have a really wild cam.
