broken bolt

[Magice]

On my honda engine the I over tightened the ohv valve cap bolt and it broke off inside. I have a spare screw from a gx390, is there any way for me to pull the stuck one out? It's in about half way

That bolt is small and will be hard to get out,You can try and easy out but be real sure it don't snap off in there it will be almost impossible to get out then.

The only other thing you can do is drill it out and put a heli coil in it,These kits come with a drill sized for the insert being used.Can be bought at any good auto supply store.

I agree with it hard to come out... they're pretty small! Personally I'd try drilling it out...

But if nothing works, you could just get a new head. Shame Honda didn't use the 4 screws like they used on the <6.5HP engines...

Well, I ended up getting it out. A acidently broke a drill bit in half (my cordless fell). The end was jagged and gripped onto the broken bolt
