Maybe the members here who've mentioned having that particular front-passenger side head bolt break will provide specifics on which section of the bolts actually broke, but if they broke above the threads, it's possible that you'd be able to turn a broken bolt by hand once the valve cover was off.

Can't say that I have any other suggestions at the moment for what may be causing the overheating.
ok i an a novice so before i go crazy trying to figure out if this is the problem is there any way this could be the problem if all winter long i never overheated?

and also this pdf manual dont tell how to take off the valve cover is this hard to do? any writeups on it?

thanks
