[FC] Broken Valve Cover Bolt

[Clark Hartzel]

Is there enough sticking out to put vice grips on it?
If Tim's whiz wheel trick doesn't work just drill it out bigger and use a
5/16 bolt.
No law says you have to keep it 1/4".

I have a valve cover bolt that is broken off just below the surface of the
head.

I have a Helicoil repair insert if I need it, but does anybody have any tips
on getting the old bolt out.

It looks like it would be pretty hard to drill a small enough hole  to get a
screw extractor in there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
