Snapped water pump bolt! 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be terfel on  Fri Nov 4 02:23 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I was replacing my water pump, got everything off ok, put on some sealant for the gasket and put the pump on the two studs. I don't think it was on all the way, and as I was tightening the nuts, the one near the timing belt, it broke off! So the one stud near the timing belt is snapped in half. It looks like it is coming out of the engine block. I have no idea how to proceed from here. This looks really serious. Can anyone offer some help or suggestions?

The other thing is that the nut that holds the housing for the thermostat fell into the lower timing belt cover. Will it be a problem if I leave it in there? It must be at the bottom, cause I can't see it at all.

Thanks...
