That's one of the bolts that Holds the Irons and rotor housings together! Def Important. I doubt you'll be able to fix this without taking the motor out... You'll def need to get the broken portion out of the motor, and replace with a new bolt. Good luck... I have no idea how that happens. Unless someone didnt build the motor correctly.

Motor isn't shot, buit it will require a tear down to remove the broken tension bolt end. Depending on the mileage, you might get by with a gasket kit, but this is an opportune time to replace the seals and freshen up the engine. Depending on goals and budget, maybe a little port work while it's apart.
