Broken Starter Mount
Went to start the car tonight. Heard a snap.
One tab on the starter broke. The other bolt snapped off the tab on the block. How would I fix the tab on the block??

I have no idea why it broke, I was checking for a coolant leak. Went to start it to move it back into the garage.
No leaky head gasket. The thermostat housing was the culprit. Course one of those bolts broke off in the water pump.

I haven't seen anyone fix one of these easily. This could be terminal. It might be possible to weld up and repair but I would think the job would need to be done on an engine stand. Good luck.
