Please help! Valve cover bolt snapped.

Long story short I Snapped the bolt after changing the gasket I need some sort of rubber cork until I can take it all apart again and get the bolt out. I can’t seem to find the right cork anywhere I look. Any advice will be appreciated

Try Ace Hardware for rubber stopper. Use a reverse
​​​​​drill bit to remove the broken bolt. Find another bolt in local junkyard, local Honda dealer or online.

Happened to me a few years ago on a 6th gen. Use the correct torque spec and crossing pattern when installing valve cover.

Could also try covering the hole with tape, then covering the tape/valve cover metal, with liquid gasket.
