I have a 1994 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder, with about 111,000. After replacing the valve cover gasket I put the cover back on and while tightening the nut over one the bolts it broke! What can I do? Will oil leak out of the opening? Please advise.

There is 2 things you can do. Take the valve cover off again. Get a good vice grip. Clamp it well around the broken stud. Spray WD40 & try to release the stud(anti-clockwise). Once you get it out, you can either buy another stud from the dealer or you can go to the local hardware store & purchase a bolt with the same thread pitch & length & install that insted.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
