I need help guys!!! Please

Ok so today i was finishing up my head replacement, and doing the timing. I removed the hydraulic tensioner to pin it in place. When i went to install it i snapped the lower bolt off inside either the oil pump assembly or the block, which ever it bolts into. Do you guys have any idea on what i could do???

sell your Talon

well the bolt that broke is in a block.There is nuttin much to do if the engine is in a car,because of a poor access to work with that broken bolt.What i would do.i would lift the entire engine up and the try to drill the bolt out....

I really dont want to put that much effort into it .

lift the car up and lower the driver side of the engine it'll be easier to get to. you might end up having to take the oil pump off

Its threaded into the block still right? If thats the case and the head is sheared off, listen to cruisin and drop that side to give you a little more extra room then run an 'easy out' reverse thread thing and walk that bolt out. Sorry if I completely missed the question

Sheared off???do you mean still off. Dropping the engine is how I change the timing belt all the time.

The end of the bolt is broken off inside the block. Hell it about an inch or two inside.
