Where did the bolt break? At the head or in the middle of the shank somewhere?

I<3WhiteGirls 01-24-2013 06:17 PM

the bolt snapped in half almost flush with the head, any ideas?

If you can get the rest of the bolts out. might be able to lift the valve cover and hopefully it is sticking out a bit... Might be able to finagle something either with vice grips some other ingenious thing

an easy-out should pull it

Is it on the pass side or drivers side?

if you have a welder available, put a 3/8 nut over the broken bolt and weld it to it, then turn it out slow, the heat from the weld should break the bolt loose and let it come out with a wrench.
