thanks for the reply brodyscamaro,
on more investigation i find that the bolt in question has
sheared off roughly flush with the head and after speaking
to my mechanic he says to wait, because the labor
charges would be too much for the sake of one bolt.
wait as in putting on headers,cam change or some other
work,i would have a go myself but it's my daily driver and
if i screw up i'm f***ed no transport to work.

I take it the right hand side of the block is the driver side?? If so the top removel isn't that hard, if it is on the pass, disconect the battery and take out the starter. It will give you enough room. Just in case you decide to put in headers. As long as you are good with a wrench it isn't that hard.
