LOL

 

sorry

 

I don`t mean to be mean,but you broke the bolt and expect it to hold. What color is the oil.

 

oil is fine and no i know its not gonna stay i dont have tap tools or torch to fix if i cant get it out.....dont know if its threaded all the way thats y i didnt attempt to take other one off yet

 

No the bolt does not go all the way though. You need to drill it out. Once drilled some times they come right out. Take the other bolt out and see how deep the hole is. Don`t know if the other hole is the same depth or not so work slow. Measure how thick the bolt is and drill accordingly. Easy out kits can be cheap. Hope your head gasket is ok.

 

Some heat and an easy out usually do the trick. Use a center punch so you can drill in the middle of the bolt.

 

Is it rust or oil in the water?

 

its rusty colored water and is the thermostat hosing threaded

 

If the bolt is not broke off flush after you remove the t stat housing get some vice grips and pb blaster and try to get it out. The stat housing is not threaded. Your coolant system needs to be flushed
