a drill a few good bits and an easy out, hope you can find an easy out small enough, and hope you dont break the easy out

That's what i wanna know. Geez, what did ya use to tighten it...a breaker bar? I doubt you'd be able to get an EZ Out that far down. Probably have to take the block to a machine shop, and they might not even be able to get it out without drilling the whole thing out. But at least there they have the proper equipment for it, and could come up with a workable solution for ya.

yeah i doubt an easyout will do the trick, only because it doesnt seem like there will be enough to grab onto. Your most likely going to end up having to redrill and tap. How far down in did it break? Is there enough thread showing in the hole that you could put a shorter bolt into it and tighten it without bottoming out onto the broken piece? Its super ghetto, but it might buy you some time until you could get it fixed properly... i dont know if this would really work, but maybe worth a shot

JB weld the broken piece on. The head studs are not important, they just the vtec down onto your block.

You really should just pull the motor and get the block down to a machine shop.You will most likely make it worse by trying to remove it with a easy out or similar.You should buy a torque wrench or get your's calibrated.
