Well I dropped the pan to clean, paint and put anew gasket on and wouldn't it figure that a bolt snpas wjile putting it back on. The damn never thing never even really got tight before snapping? Now I have everything on and good to go except for that one bolt, which I tried to tap out but with no luck. It is the 3rd on from the tranny right behind the starter. What options do I have with this thing now, Drop the pan again and start all over and try again to get it out? Drill it out and then chade or retap it a different size? Or just fill it with RTV and not worry about until I do another gasket in the future?

 

I would try to drill it and use an easy-out. If you leave the bolt out you will probably leak.

 

I trieddrilling and tapping it with no luck. Maybe I need new taps? It was a pain to try and drill becasue of the angle it broke off at.

 

start it up and see if it leaks then go from there what id do

 

You could always replace the block lol

 

 

A little RTV would probably work just fine.

 

did it snap flush or is there any of it protruding if you were to take the pan off. something you can weld a nut to so you can use a wrench on, or at least grab it with some real vise grips?
