Yet Another 3.0 Head Gasket Thread
I had similar happen in aluminum block push mower. I bumped up from 1/4 to 5/16" bolt.

I would use a helicoil and I would do it without removing and replace the chain cover.

10 N·m maths out to just shy of 2000# clamp force. The block just age/heat cycle weakened and couldn't handle the force anymore.
