water pump lucky

Well I was still rebuilding the 850 turbo eng and ran into a oh noooooo! The photo's are old ones from the tear down but will work. As I was putting on the pump, the new bolts from FCP where being used. On the very last bolt I ran into a thread problem on the block. Investigation showed the threads in the block to be messed up half way into the block. A panicked PM to tech got me calmed down. I was able to re-tap the block, and used one of the old bolts that were longer, allowing the old bolt to grab. I do not know what I did in the tear down to cause this problem, but I feel very fortunate that I was able to get away with a quick fix. Once again tech, thanks for the help!!!
