    Help with broken head bolt

    Ok so when i was adjusting the valves i noticed one of the head bolts were loose then realized it was snapped so i just pulled it out but the rest is left down in the block. It broke at the treads so i guess i have to pull the head off and what the best way to remove the bolt. I was possibly thinking an easy out but i never have luck with those and once they break you can't drill them. I also have a vaccum leak which i can't pinpoint. I think its the intake gasket. When i spray break cleaner in between the 5th and 6th injector it idles up. Is there anyway to take the intale manifold off with out removing the head or not. So what are your suggestions?

    And today was the first day i've had the car on the road and i loved it and well worth the $1800 bucks ;) But i need struts bad

    The intake manifold can be removed while the head remains on the engine. But you will have to pull the head to remove the broken head bolt.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
