Help.. valve cover screw broke..How do I get it out.......?

It broke all the way deep inside and nothing sticking out to pinch....

what tools do I have to use and what method is the best?

pictures and instructions would be nice....

 

What screw? Valve covers are in by bolts.

Or do you mean your ground screw? If you broke that in there then just screw it out. Other then that i have no clue what your talking about. Take a pic.

 

I'm guessing he snapped a valve cover bolt off. Sucks to be you. You can try to drill out a hole in the middle of it and use an easy out set to get it out. Or take it to a machine shop and let them do the same thing for about $100. Your call. Next time don't torque the **** out of your bolts like that. 7 lb/ft I think is what it's supposed to be.

 

If a bolt or screw is broken off deep inside a blind hole, the problem is the same. There are a few ways to fix.

1. Drill the center of the screw out and use an easyout. This method is risky esp with smaller screw/bolts. They snap off very easy and the problem just got bigger because now there is a hardened piece inside as well.

2. Drill the screw completely out and use a heli-coil insert.

3. Take it to a machine shop and let them do it.

My friend snapped one of mind off, all we did is took an extremely small drill bit to it, put a hole in it and backed it out. Pretty easy, took like 5 minutes.

 

What if you took the rest of the screws out, and took the valve cover completely off, would it be sticking out a little? Or is it deeper than that?
