I would do a compression test on the cylinders near that head bolt. If they are lower then the other cylinder you need to replace that head gasket or theres going to be problems.

RE: Head bolt broke off and leaking antifreeze

Pulled the heads today. Head gasket didnt appear to be blown althouth the bolt hole goes directly water jacket which was causin it to leak..... Now I'm debating on which heads to go with. don't wanna put those pos stock heads back on but i've done spent 2000 bucks in less than a week. Although this is the time to put heads on since i'm tore down..... Debatin on which head to go with.. B cam, typhoon intake, 65mm tb, 30lb inj. and other exterior engine parts. Any body got any ideas on which head to go with
