you mean you broke off the corner of the head aint really no quick fix for that if there are ant threads left run a tap to clean what threads are there tighten all othe bolts and just snug that one up dont try and kill it

do u have a welder???/ welder on and grind it flush. then drill and tap some new threads in and shaazzaamm just like new . ive done it on 2 jeeps.

nope its steel, If you dont have the equipment a machine shop can fix it for you for pretty cheap

well that makes me feel alot better i pulled the head off so it should be easier to fix now that i have room to work with. i should of done that before i tried drilling and tapping
