Need help on this... Broke bolt on Valve cover..

Hey guys....

I have a 3.0 cl... Well today I smelt oil, I looked on the backside of the motor and noticed oil coming from the valve cover bolts. I decided to tighten the bolts !

Well I broke a valve cover bolt off in the head... I know I have to take the Intake off the motor to get to the valve cover and the drill the old bolt out...

My question is what gaskets will I need when I take the valve cover off? I Know I will need the intake manifold gasket... anything else comes to mind?

Thanks in advance!

you may not have to drill it out, you may be able to take a punch and tap it out far enough that you can get some vice grip or something on it and just unscrew it out

I agree with Po401, but PB blast it like a day before, let it soak and it should help.
If you cant tap it out, you can buy extractor bits that will help get stuff like that out.
