Default >>>PLEASE Help Me!! <<<

I need help and have no clue what to do!
So i was redoing my whole coolant system and i took off the aluminum part that bolts into the block. (The that the line/house goes on) When i did both bolts broke and where stuck in the block.
So i tried to use an E-Z out/pro-grip. Had no luck at all. I then tried to drill out the bolt, planning on re-threading/using a threaded insert. And of coarse no luck again.
so i let my brother try while i run to the hardware store. When i got back he had tried drilling out the bolts. And on the one hole (top one) He drilled under the where the broken bolt is into the block and i have no clue why but he drilled one by the other hole too that's no where close to the original. SO is there any other ways to get that piece to stay on there??

I thought about jb weld? but idk if is strong enough

Please help me.

As long as you can get the original bolts out, I would get it welded shut and then drilled and retapped.

I don't have camera currently since it got stolen.
So would jb weld work or is there something similar that will?

Remove head and take it to a shop with a wire EDM, then repair as necessary.

Do NOT use JB weld.

Why would you use JB weld if you still haven't gotten the bolt out ... removing the bolt is critial. I would then recommend welding the bolt hole shut and then drilled and tapped in the stock location.
