Subject: RE: Broken valve cover bolts

Hi Hacksaw,
So you've got the valve cover off now? Is there any of the broken off
bolt standing clear of the gasket surface? You could try cutting a slot
into it with a Dremel and turning it clockwise out the back side.
Cheers,

Because the previously exposed threads are contaminated and are likely
