As i was tightening my valve cover one of my bolts snapped, how can i remove the broken part thats still in

 

reverse drill bits

 

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

 

were can i find a reverse drill bit

 

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.

 

well i got my MAC set from the tool truck...but i would check for a Habour frieght or some industrial tool store

 

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

 

take the valve cover off and use a deep socket to remove the broken bolt. i cant remember it is 10mm or 12mm

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