Default Broken screws in motor block. Help please :)

Hi everyone, So today I removed my oil pan to put a gasket but there are 3 broken screws in the block. Do you guys have any knowledge of how to take them out? I can proceed with the installation until they are out

If they're sticking out of the block at all you can try a needle-nose vice grips to get around the threads and turn them out. Try wacking the broken bolts with a hammer to loosen them up if they're stubborn. Otherwise, a center punch, a pack of 1/16" titanium drill bits, and an Easy Out with the appropriate size drill bit.
