Default Two questions - Clutch Cable & Valve cover Bolt.

Hi guys,

Ok I have two questions.

The first,

My girlfriend has a 1990 Civic Hatch DX, she has a brand new stage 2 clutch, and new pressure plate, and resurfaced fly wheel. But her clutch is still crunchy when she puts it to the floor, even if the car is off when she pushes it to the floor it's crunch like the cable is stuck or worn. Is that what the problem is? If so would I just replace the cable?

Question 2,

Today I changed her sparkplugs, and noticed that one of the valve cover bolts was loose, so I tightened it, and I didn't even begin to tighten that much and the top of the bolt snapped off, how do I get the bolt out now and is it dangerous now? Cause it's still tightened, I just can't get it out now.

all a loose bolt will do is maybe leak a little oil. it wont cause any damage at all, unless it leaks so bad that the oil levels get ridiculously low. you should be straight.
