broken valve cover bolt
I read the posts on how to extract broken bolts and I get what needs to be done I am just curious how much of a pain it will be because of the metal shavings and exactly which is the best method to get it out. i included pictures of where the bolt broke off.

RE: broken valve cover bolt
hey thanks for the help, i actually read that link before and that really helped out
my friend suggested two methods to avoid getting metal shavings, 1) was using a magnet after drilling every couple of seconds, and 2) was just using the vacuum. i used the vacuum way since i did not have a strong enough magnet to do anything with it. i think it worked all right.
