I broke one today... anyone have a spare to sell? 
 
Using the metallic black RTV I glued the bolt to the washer and the
washer to the valve cover. I know this needs to be properly fixed but
that was the best I could do at 4 pm on a Sunday 25 miles from my house.
 
This will be fixed when I do my valves which hopefully will be before
the end of the year or beginning of next. Can I drive the car normally?
Normally means occasionally WOT and some spirited driving. Is there a
lot of pressure in that cavity? Will the bolt pop off?
 
I was about to fall over when I heard the "skrick" of shearing the head
off of the bolt... buying one isn't a problem but it's on the rear valve
cover so it's even more of a pain in the ass to remove the stud.
