Dont use an easy out what ever you do. Try drilling them out are re tapping the block but be careful. You may have to run a die over the new bolt too. The bolt has 6.8 stamped on it. I would recomend replacing the metal heater return pipe (Volvo part!) and the 2 hoses which run into the back of the water pump with silicon hoses from PJ Grady while you are in there.
