I was getting down re-torqueing my head bolts after replacing my head qasket, when I friend ****** broke the bolt that is right next to the oil filler cap. How in the hell do I remove the broken part that is left in the head. Its leaking oil because the bolt is not secure.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

If your talking about the stud that goes throught the valve cover and has a cap nut...then you need to replace the whole stud...I can't remember if you need to take off the valve cover but if you use a deep 10mm or 12mm you can take that stud off (if you take it off you'll see what I'm talking about)...honda sells them for a buck or two.

na, dude, i know exactly what you are talking about..this happened to me when i was painting my valve cover..those things are weak..once i put the valve cover back on and torqued those long 10mm or so bolts down, one of them snapped where the thread starts...it wasn't leaking or anything(i kept it like that for like, two or three days), but i still wanted to change it...so i took the valve cover back off after goin to a friends that had a couple of honda motors laying around in his garage and borrowing a bolt.
i dont think those bolts go in too tightly, cuz i was able to take a really small chisle, and/or small needle nose pliers and slowly turn the screw until it came out. if that doesnt work, you'll have to use a little drill bit that takes those broken bolts out..but i've never done that so that might be a pain. hope this helped.
