Urgent I need Help
I went to unscrew the screws holding the valve cover so I can replace the gasket and the screws broke while i was unscrewing them. What do I do?

Re: Urgent I need Help
You mean bolts, correct??<P>Remove the valve cover, see if you can get some visegrips on what is left of the bolt and unscrew it. Or, get a drill and drill a small hole in the center of the bolt. Since the holes go straight thru it may come out the other side. If not, continue to drill the small hole and use an "E-Z out or similiar tool (available at Princess Auto, Partsource, Napa, etc.) Overall they shouldn't be too hard to get out. Here comes the expensive part though, they are a Mazda only bolt. I broke one once and order a full set as replacements, not much else you can do.

What a Mazda only bolt? You mean no other bolts will work. I asked a guy at Auto Zone and he said that any M6 x 1.0 45mm bolts should work. So I got to goto Mazda to get the bolts, How much do they run?
