drill it out and tap a new hole ..just keep shavings from getting inside the valvetrain area

RE: Bolt broke inside of head

Be careful! i ended up doing it last year working on it for like two days and ended up making it a mess! then again i shoulda gotten someone who knew how to do it in the first place...... the plus side i got to put some gt40s on and made a nice improvement!
