Is the valve cover leaking oil? It might have been replaced like you said. Either than or it had the notorious KA timing chain rattle. As far as the broken studs/bolts, drill/tap them out. Take a couple of the good ones, match the threads and get new hard ware. Doesnt need to be grade 8, torque range for the valve cover is soft, like 15 ft lbs max.
