is there a way to extract this bolt and just put in a new one, possibly a machine shop? without having to take off the head, or buy new ones?

Are you sure your pushrods are the correct length?

Click to expand...

How did it break off? Drill the center out and hammer an ez out in the extract it...easier said than done sometimes I have an intake bolt stuck in my gt40 heads and I'm still working on it without destroying the threads.

if it broke off high enough, you should be able to just grab it and unscrew it. there wont be any torque left on it, so it should come out easy. if its below the top of the threaded hole, you will have to use the ez-out like mentioned above.
