Soooo... I snapped the bolt head on the front engine mount and had to drill it out. I didn't have a tap and die kit, but the soft engine let me thread it using a 10.9
bolt I got at home depot. Regardless I think I may have drilled too deep. I checked with a wire and it stops but it looks like fuel is slowly leaking out from the threads. Can't really think of anything else other than drilling too far that would cause it.
Is there a way that I could seal this up? If not, how difficult is it to buy one of these and rebuild my engine? Are there any special tools I'd need? I have a basic stuff like a ratchet set, torque wrenches, drills, etc but nothing like a hydraulic press. Nor have I don't anything of this sort before, but am a perpetual tinkerer and work on cars. I can manage everything except inner trans and engine block. Head's I'm okay with.
