niloc1200:
you shoulb be able to get the sheared bolt out without to many problems see if it will tap round with a little punch and hammer shouldnt be tight
dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
I had something in the distant past where that had happened (Ford maybe). Didn't find out till I replaced the rocker gasket, by which time I'd done 20k in it. Never did bother doing anything about it
Range Rover Blues:
Unless it's somehow stuck in the threads then the remains of the bolt should just be sat there and farily easy to move. Try tapping it round with a punch as suggested because drilling it to use a stuf extractor could drive it further into the head.
eugene:
