Busted a oil pan bolts...

i put my oil pan on my BRAND new freakin' motor....and i dont know how tight they should be since i dont havea torque wrench. Well it still moved so, i kept turnign it until SNAP! The head broke off.....should i tap it and get the bolts out, or apply black RTV where the bolt had broken off to protect against leaks?

How do i fix this problem?

You should be able to find a similar bolt at a hardware store. If not, I'll send you one. I've got extras.
