2004, base, ~300K mis.
Trying to pin down the source of an incessant oil leak, I came across a post saying to check the o-ring on the timing chain tensioner on the back of the engine block. There sure was a ton of oil around there, so I'm guessing that was the bulk of it.
In installing the part back with the new o-ring, I must have overtightened the little 10mm nut as the top of the two mounting studs snapped with only about 1/8" left past the mounting flange of the part. See attached picture for the damage done.
Am I completely toast here? I see no indication that I can strip and thread in a new stud, so I'm guessing this just welded onto the block or something. Would I seriously be looking at pulling the whole engine for this little ten-cent part?
Thanks for ANY help.
