ok so i was installing the ecu mount on the side of my new block, and i did not realize that the bolt i was using was so frail, so i was torquing it up to the right amunt and itsnapped and now i have the bolt stuck in my block how should i get it out?
 
i had the same exact thing happen to me... its kind of a pain and be careful not to drill into anything that isnt the bolt when youre tapping it out
 
Drill it out starting with a small bit and increase the size of the bit a little at a time until you get a big enough hole for an easy out
