I just broke a valve cover bolt by tightening it too tight i guess. I have 5 of them, 4 now, and i put the broken bolt back in the hole so oil doesn't spray out. Just wanted to know if its fine to drive till i get a new one?

its fine as long as you plug it up with something because you'll end up spraying oil all over the engine bay. just use some hondabond or some rtv sealent to plug up the hole. it happened to me once and i just used some rtv sealent until i was able to go to the dealer the next day.
