Default Broken Bolt Help :(

I was helping a friend put together his engine and one of his bolts broke from either A) Over torque or B) It was an old/$**tty bolt. The bolt is located on the rocker assembly. How can I go on about getting the piece out? Thanks for the support in advance guys/gals.

Like just attach this to a drill and "extract" it?

Happened to me once too.

Get an extractor, takes a little doing, but works.

be sure to take your time if you do it wrong you will screw up the aluminum around it.Be sure to file the top of remaining bolt flat and drill with small bit and move up to larger bit to the recomended size the extractor says to drill out to.....and take your time.
