 I will gladly pay $250 to have the broken bolt removed properly.  I am thinking all the timing chain covers have to come off to get to where that bolt is snapped and closer to $2,000.  Maybe I am way off on the amount of labor to remove the timing chain covers.  I will check with an indy and see what their estimate is.  Extracting a broken bolt that is 3" deep down a hole seems very problematic without removing the covers.
