Re: Snapped VALVE COVER BOLT (ramos2589)
Very carefully with a tap set. Ive had to do it twice. first time I was successful, second time not so much 
ended up ruining the threads for it

Before that, if possible, it's time for the WD-40 and vise grips. If there's even just a little piece sticking out you should be able to grab it and carefully remove it. Just soak it good and wait first. Worked for me once.

no you don't need the tap set...just unscrew the borken bolt out of the head. simple as that...just go to a junk yard and pull another valve cover bolt out of another civic. just use a wrench to get that broken piece out...gl

reverse drill bits. if there is still a bit sticking up maybe try using a screwdriver and a hammer and tap it out. worked for me a couple of times on other bolts

i think he has a single cam and if he does its a whole bolt that threads into the cam cap
