Hey there,
2011 Chevy Cruze 1.4 Liter Turbo LT
So long story short whilst replacing the valve cover gasket one of the bolts that are on the valve cover got cross threaded. The bottom two rows of the bolt broke off. Now it won't screw back in securely. (My fault obviously). It now leaks from the corner that bolt is in. The bolt doesn't seem to come out of the valve cover. I believe you just buy a whole new cover if you need new bolts. BUT does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this without having to buy a whole new cover? I know they're not crazy expensive but I'm trying to avoid buying a new one.
If there's no other away to safely fix this without buying a new valve cover, does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy a new cover from?
Thanks!
