Not one of the 4 main in the middle, but one of the outside 4 on my b16 broke off.

How do I fix this???

Please help me out.

 

Is any of it sticking out of the head still? or did it break off down inside where it threads in?

If any of it is sticking out, try to grab it with some vise-grips or something and then unscrew it. I had this happen on a fuel rail stud/nut.

 

so what type of bolt is this then?

how do you screw this in when its new for example?

In the image it appears to be the screws i have highlighted with orange boxes.

 

The studs have a 10mm nut machined in them, just turn with a wrench. Take off the valve cover, remove the broken one, and put the new one in. If it broke off at the base, you may have to use an E-Z Out, screw extractor, or whatever you want to call it.

 

i see!! ill take the cover off again and do that, since it broke above that machined nut, i just havnt taken the cover off again to look yet....

where can i get one of these, autozone you think? dealer?

are their afftermarket replacments for these?

thanks for your help guys!

worked wonders for me when i had broke off a valve cover bolt also

 

right but whats the thing called, its not the head studs i know that, since those go down and hold the head to the block.

valve cover bolts?

 

tell honda to print you a picture and you point it out to them.

 

yea theyll have that picture on the computer when they are looking for the part u are describing

 

Valve cover stud. Go to a dealer, autozone probably doesn't carry them. I've never seen an aftermarket replacement, it's not really a stressed part.

 

try the junkyard first , i broke mine a while back and the stud was like 8$
