Default Broken Engine Cover Stud

Whats up guys. I popped open my hood earlier today to change my oil and realized that I was missing 1 of the bolts on the right side of my engine cover. I untightened the left one and took the engine cover off. I then realized that on the right side the stud broke off somewhere/somehow and thats the reason for the bolt to be missing. Does anyone know what the hell it is called and where I can get it. The stud goes into the valve cover and the engine cover hole lines up with it and then you place the bolt on top to tighten it. Whats this called! Damnet! It doesnt stay in place very well with just one side tightened. Im confused. Thanks

I don't remember what it is called either, but if you go to your local dealer they will, I thinks its the same one as the one for the header, i can't remember how many of those I've bought, but they are cheap, like a dollar and change each, with the nut you're prob. looking at $3-4. To remove the broken stud you'll prob. have to drill it out with a very thin drill bit until it breaks completely, hope that helps, good luck.
