Yes thats right. Was putting my rocker cover on when the last bolt snapped in the block. Suppose drilling it out is the best option?

put a small pilot hole in it if its not grabbable by mole grips or anything and then use an easy out

No a helicoil is where you drill it out, and put a new thread in which is generally some strong steel material.

no your thinking of an easy out as afore mentioned, helicoil is the key!
