Hey guys. So I’ve been installing an intercooler kit and ran into a problem. I have to rotate the supercharger down for the intercooler piping and there’s a long bolt in the bracket that had to be removed In order to rotate it, but I believe the end Of the bolt broke off in the block in the midst of braking it loose.. I believe it’s that top 8mmx70 bolt.i will go back out to confirm when I get the chance. Any tips on what to do here? Really sucks everything was going smooth and was about to make an appointment with the tuner before this happened. Thanks.

a photo of what you're dealing with would help.
Might be able to double nut it, weld a nut or if flush a reverse drill bit etc...

I’m wrong. No bolt broke. It stripped out on the inside of the block.. will have pics in a bit.

Yes so stripped at the block. The bolt It’s self is fine..

Helicoil should fix that.
Are the threads actually in the block, or just the timing cover?
that’s a good question. I was thinking block, but they may very well be in the timing cover.
I'm fairly sure the bolts in that area aren't all the way through the TC, but take that with a grain of salt. If so, that makes remedying the issue a little easier
