alright guys im in a tight spot..the other day i was driving my ls eg hatch to the store and the bolts that hold the driver side motor mount bracket slid out my block and cause the motor to drop just a little bit which also caused my driver side axle to break..fixin the axle is the easy task..now how would i go about fixing those three broken bolts...anybody have any ideas...the only one i could think of tapping and rethreading the hole and put some new bolts in there and call it a day...if this has happened to u plz let me know how u fixed the problem thanks

unbolt ur exhaust, linkage, rear mount bolt and lift the engine up and get a helicoil set. thats all i can tell ya. its ruff but its doable

thats what happen to my gsr motor when i got it(cheap, complete long block)!.. but mine's in the machine shop getting work done now as we speak!..

the dUDes at the machine shop are pretty kOol and their going to laser mine.. so mine's going to be a clean cut job.. mine is gonna have helical in them to!..

someone tried taking out the broken studS(all three) by themself and really made a mess.. (non was successful) cutted and took off some aluminum from the block where the motor mount studs was broken..

so in the end! i would highly recommend you taking it to the professionals, or someone who has done it before.. unless you have experiences but i've been in the automotive industry for about five years now and i still rather have mine done by proS..
