My torque wrench decided to stop working and I broke them off inside the head. Now: I have another head that I can put on but I need to get it fully rebuilt before I change it to get the other one to the machine shop.

Do it right or u will be sorry. Don't run them broken or you will be asking how to get out of a bigger jam down the line. Use the easy outs..

That why you're supposed to use an INCH-LB torque wrench for LS cam bolts

I personally wouldn't even allow an engine to turn over if I didn't have all the cam bolts properly torqued down, let alone drive the car. You're just begging for disaster...

Park that car, and fix the problem!!!

when using easy outs, while drilling the remaining bolt do I use some sort of oil to lubricate it while it drills?
