help messed up my ka head gasket change

I was changing my head gasket today, everything well till I forgot to take out last 10mm bolt that connects the head to the lower timing chain cover and the piece broke, what should I do ? Do I need a new cover or should I put more silicone.

I'm no professional engine builder, looks like you need new front cover.

But... You can always Mickey it, fill it with JB WELD!


Jk, NO jb weld!!! Just buy a used front cover

Another cover should bolt right on, I would recommend just replacing it with a new one with a new oil pump.

I did the same exact thing 3 weeks ago. I just used a little extra RTV silicone there and bolted it back up anyways. Doesn't leak..

You aren't getting a new OEM front cover anywhere... Nissan doesn't make them anymore. As long as your block hasn't been decked there is no need to resurface the front cover. I'd look for a decent used one, inspect the pump & gears clean it up and throw it on.
