Default Serious urgent help needed (with pics)

Was trying to tighten up the spark plug cover bolts and accidentally overtightened one of the bolt and and snap! This is what I get in return...



Can anyone please shine me some light in regard to fix this problem... Thanks

Take rocker cover off, get some multi-grips and twist it out

take off the valve cover and remove it with i think a long 12mm socket . make sure u order the bolt from honda before u take it out. i think its like 7 or 8 bucks . make sure u torque it to spec. its not a big deal i did it about 3 years ago rolled around for a few weeks before i got it fixed it doesnt really leak oil .

Take it to your local honda or acura and tell them what it is.
If you have a friendly parts department, they will work with you.

Type R and 99-00 Civic Si's are the same.

You don't have to tighten those things down that much silly
