can i still use this?
well thre screws broke from my head cause a friend says he "knows what he is doing" so i let him... the reason being is because i had to go to the junk yard to buy some parts and came back to bad news! =[ now my question is can i still use this head because of the screws or do i have to bring it to get it fixed???

you can still use the head, take it to a machine shop and have them extract the bolts, and run a tap down the holes to re-thread them. i had a similar problem with 2/4 water pump bolts stuck in my block, 30 bucks later, they extracted them, and re-tapped the hole for me.. just google machine shops in your area and get pricing..
hope that helped.
hope that helped.
I'd recommend replacing the other 2 bolts that didn't break too. Chances are they are pretty stretched from being over tightened. Next time hand your friend a torque wrench and a repair manual.
thanx for the help everyone it's very helpful... and as for my friend situation.. he ended up giving me 40 buck =] lol but yea i will be taking it to a machine shop tomorrow...
