ANYONE?????????

 

c'mon you guys? doesnt anyone know what to do in this situation???

 

A screw extractor could be used. Let the machine shop do it. Better to have them do it right the first time than to accidentally mess up and have it re-machined anyways.

 

Your pics are too small to be able to tell anything about the valves...
Aside from that, take a small drill bit, maybe 1/8", and drill down the center of the bolt. If you can't get it started because of the surface, grind it flat, making sure you don't hit the surface on the head.
Once drilled, use an easy out or bolt extractor to remove it. Should be a piece of cake.

 

weld a small piece of metal on it like an alan key and unscrew it. Heat also helps

 

The broken shank appears to be protruding slightly. Have you considered slotting it with a Dremel tool and using a flat head screw driver to extract the bolt? Tape the machined area before you start grinding.

 

If you are going to take it to a machine shop to remove the bearing cap stud, then I would have that machine shop (if they do sylinder head work), or a machine shop that does cylinder head work check the head for you. Have them double check the deck of the head (make sure it is straight), and hook up the head to vaccuum to make sure there are no leaking valves. If everything is good, and not leaking put it make on.

Don't over torque the cam bearing caps bolts. They are 20 ft/lb. of torque for the 8mm bolts, and less then 100 in/lb. for the 6mm bolts (at the end of the caps).
