To remove a broken bolt from a car head, first, ensure that the area is clean and accessible. Use penetrating oil to help loosen the bolt, then attempt to extract it with a screw extractor or easy-out tool, which can grip the broken bolt for removal. If that fails, you may need to drill out the bolt carefully and use a tap to re-thread the hole or insert a helicoil for a secure fit. Always take precautions to avoid damaging the surrounding metal.

Remove the broken bolt and replace it with a new one. There are several ways to remove that broken bolt. You can remove the valve cover and weld a nut to what is left of the bolt, wait for it to cool off then unthread the broken bolt. You can also drill out the center of the broken bolt and use an easy-out. You can also drill into the broken bolt with a left handed drill bit, sometimes the drill bit will catch and spin out the broken piece. I would go with the first suggestion.
