Can i fix this?

Well Ive been having idle problems, and i believe its my bacv. Anyways, today i took it off to test it, and while i was bolting it back on, i broke the top bolt. Will i have to replace my dynamic chamber, or can i possibly fix it somehow?

you can attempt to drill the broken bolt but that can be risky, as you may drill into the manifold. sometimes easy outs work...sometimes. use extreme care when attempting to drill into the manifold if you choose to do so. my 88 TII has a broken intercooler mounting bolt on the upper intake manifold. i havent messed with it, i just left it. its been just fine.

something similar happened to me a while back. get you an extractor set and it should come right off.

Good luck man. That sort of task isn't for the faint of heart.
