I saw this on the tv show Trucks. Drill a smaller hole into the conter of the broken bolt and tap it, next get a bolt that will thread into that hold you drilled and taped and use some red locktite and thread it in. let it set before you back the broken bolt out.
Anyone else have another suggestion?

You mean the bolt in the head? Be careful drilling, buddy of mine tried it (first bolt on the drivers side) and hit dex cool - not good. I'd ask in the exhaust/header section too.
