Ok,
So I must have "over torqued" the rear Mag side engine mount bolt and broke the threads. Same end result as stripped but all the threads broke off on the bolt like a bad heli-coil. Regardless, any suggestions on the easiest solution?

Pull the motor, Helicoil it, make sure you use a good locktite for the helicoil. Put the motor back in but before you do that go buy yourself a torque wrench!!!!

I own a torque wrench. I broke it with a six inch ratchet.

Good locktite = red locktite?
