Docc , are there any threads left in the block so you can install threaded rod and use it as a stud ? 

So, this happened about five years/ 25,000 miles ago. The aluminum threads pulled out of the motor side when I was doing up the fastener.  I used a "Recoil" repair kit from my local Fastenal store.

Thanks for the recommendation, @gstallons!
