Half the bolt is still in the block the bottom one that holds the tensioner in place!

Wanted the car on road today! :cry:

Oh fuck! I've nut and bolted the tensioner on, and the cover however that is the alternator tensioner locater bolt?

The hole is drilled a bit bent and no chance of gettin original bolt in there?
