My engine was hydrolocked this season. When we turned the key over on the engine (4.3L V6) The starter thread hole (where the bolt threads in the engine block) busted and I am unable to put a bolt in anymore. How can I go about repairing this?

Do you have the remnants out? If you dont, that is the first step, removing the remnants. Please provide more details, Have you gotten the remnants out, have you cured the hydrolock cause?
