UPDATE: after stripping the engine down yesterday. i prepared to take off the heads this morning... As a last ditch effort to remove the snapped valve cover bolt, i drilled a hole in the bolt, and tried to use a hardened steel easy out to remove it. this failed, snapping the easy out in the hole as well. Seeing as there was nothing in or around the head, i bought a special drill bit for drilling hardened steel. drilled through the easy-out, and the old snapped bolt. tapped the hole out, and used a deiiferent bolt. the result seems to be an acceptable fix. had to file the hole on the valve cover itself a little bigger. Seems like a it works. wont know till i fire the car up. so the heads didn't need to come off the car. I just finished getting the exhaust manifolds back on the car. both valve covers are on with the new gaskets, and im gonna start re-assembly/ cleaing up thie wiring and hoses ect.

Still pushing to be done for sunday. Help is not as urgent now.
