I JUST got this valve cover back from powder coating today, and I was going to put it in, but when I went to reinstall the black plastic piece on the inside of the valve cover, I had 2 screws break on me. I can't get them out with a Grabit I got from lowes. Is there any specific type of professional I could take it to to have the screws removed? parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com doesn't even list the internal plastic part for the valve cover or the size screws it takes.
Do you think these broken pieces would wiggle their way out? I mean, they're tiny screws that don't take much torque at all to stay in.
I'm pretty bummed because I just paid $75 to have the valve cover powdercoated, and now this happens and makes me think I should cut my losses before a broken bit of screw drops into the engine and destroys it.
