My one question, and only thing I have to say is:
What the FUCK were you tightening that bolt with? Torque values aren't just there for looks.

There is a type of caulk that you could fill the hole with then drill and retap the hole. The caulk will remain in the crack and the tap will remove it from the threads. I cannot remember what it was called. But we used it many times to repair big scratches in hyd. clylinders on heavy equipment at work. I think it had titanium in it. Just wish I could remember the name right now. Anyway I have used for that purpose before with ok results.

wtf? how can anyone tighten it that much?!?!?!? id expect the threads to be stripped waay before..

 

[americanjebus]

were you using an impact wrench to tighten the thing??

dear god, hulk. run it til it blows, then use it as an excuse for a major rebuild.

The bolt should have snapped, if the block cracked then the block had damage before. The block is cast iron and will not crack due to a bolt. I'm also wondering that if you cracked the block while bolting on the filtermount, WTF happened to the filtermount ? If nothing happened to it then you've either use the wrong bolt/ a too long bolt or you're telling liessssss

Show us pics, makes the judging a bit easier
