Broken Valve cover bolt
 

I was putting my valve cover back on and I broke a bolt :-X The place where the bolts go into the head have like "sleeves" where it guides the bolt in striaght, and it broke about 1/4 into the threading from the top. Is there anyway to get that outta there or am i screwed...no pun intended ;)

lol...no guarantee it will work since i cant see exactly how its in there, but thats your best bet

its in there like a normal bolt, just broke at the top when it got tightened, it wasnt over tightened, but prolly was in the past and just broke before the spacer at the top

if you can`t take it out, just plug the hole on the valve cover with a nut/bolt and put whole bunch of sealent on the gasket.
**ask Steve** :-X
