Valve cover bolts:(
 
So yesterday a buddy of mine was over and he insisted on changing the valve cover gasket.So wth i let him less work for me right?WRONG he snapped two of the bolts leaving the threads in the head,i have tried easy outs but to no luck.

My next step was going to weld a allen key to them and turn them out.

But here is my main question will it be a problem if i drove it like it is?

you all know the bolt pattern on a 97 sc2 same as all the others.

it is the second bolt from the left front and the other one is the last one on the top right. all others are fine i have seen no leaks yet.

Will it be able to drive without problems until i get my hands on a welder?

You can drive it any way you like, you can weld anything to the bolt that you like. If it were my car I'd get the proper tools to get the bolts out.

if that were my car, I wouldn't let someone twist off the cam cover bolts -- if it doesn't move, you stop and reassess wtf the issue is.

And after the first one, i'd grab the tool out of his hand before he caused more damage
