Hey All,
I managed to break one of my oil pan bolts off while installing a new oil pan today. The rest are all torqued to spec, but of course the last one I go to tighten snaps off flush with the block.
I can try and helicoil it...or:
Any chance some JB weld would hold strong enough for me to back it out?
Any chance that the 10 remaining bolts on that side will be enough to stop the oil from leaking out? Just wondering if it was over-engineered or if all 11 bolts are needed to stop oil from leaking.
Thanks.
