So i finally pulled off the valve cover today and found this nugget of joy.
Also there wasn't even a gasket for the middle holes on there.
This would explain crazy oil leakage (in that hole atleast) and there being no thread for the screw, and the rubber plug someone put in it.
The piece that is snapped off isn't in there so that means i was sold the car like this. whoever put the rubber plug in knew this.
i dont know what to do now. i have to take the car off the road until i find a solution.

You can do it on the car but you need a really good & extremely hot torch. I repaired a cylinder head bolt with it on my boat and never had an issue (thats under combustion preasure also) and yours is not.

You can order it from the Eastwood Company. Thats where I got mine. It's a little cheaper.

Hopefully you aren't building cars for anybody!! Poor forum advice if he wants it done right. If you really want it done correctly, take it to a fab. shop and have them fill it and then resurface it correctly. Head must come off though. If you don't give a shit and its a beater, JB as last resort.
