If there is enough still sticking out you can get a stud remover and extract it. If not do what dereksi said and have it drilled and tapped.

Or if your lazy and feel lucky put the valve cover on and hope it doesnt leak. lol (and they are bolts not screws) :goodjob:

for the time being id put it together and see if it leaks if you dont have the tools to fix it. It takes all of 5 mins to pull the valve cover back off

i would reccommend fixing it... riding around and "hoping" it doesnt leak is kind of ghetto
