Car stats: 1995 nissan 240sx se 150k on the stock ka24de non turbo bone stock except a few things

Picked the car up from a family members friend for 400$

I'm probably going to piss a lot of you off but i have a few questions this is my first Nissan actually my first car, I've owned nothing but jeeps in the past. i have mechanical knowledge just no experience with with foreign cars. So first off i know i have a almost stock car, body is in amazing condition the interior needs work like carpet and seats which i just ordered. The thing that concerns me is the engine bay by the looks of it the previous owner hacked a cold air intake in it by cutting the MAF sensor so that he could slip on a cheap filter thats the easy problem. My biggest concern is the head bolts are all miss matched which tells me the previous owner must have tinkered in the engine, see what i dont know is if he replaced the head gasket or just the valve cover gasket bc the gasket looks sketchy as hell and on top of that the two bolts that mount the coils onto the head, one of them is snapped off into the head so i was wondering can i drill that out and re tap it.
