u can try to use a tap n dye set but I doubt u will have much luck whatever u do don't heat it u might want to look into( heally coils) I dont know if I spelled that wright

I think it is spelled, Hellix. Take it from me. Unless your prepared for a long haul, don't bother with those. They do make something called, Threaded inserts. Here's the issue for this whole thing however. The metal the thermostat sits in is Aluminum. The bolts are cast steel or iron. They fuse to the thermostat housing over time. If you keep trying stuff, that metal just keeps detiorating. Then you can't use anything in the hole because it is vertually gone. So the best thing to do is take off the housing. It is not that hard. This way you can heat the bolt with a gas or argon torch so it will be able to be removed. If heating the bolt shank won't remove it. For as little as $20, at a Napa Auto parts, you can get a new housing. I know someone who didn't take this step and tried the coils, inserts etc. What should have taken 1/2 hour, took 2 months. God bless your efforts.

During the winter (Colorado) I started my car and blew a bolt off the thermostat housing that connects it to the engine... I'm not sure what that part is, or how to fix it, but I would really like to fix it. Do you know what that part is called? Or is it just connected and I would need a whole new engine? Again it's the part between the engine and the thermostat housing.... The bolt busted out and broke the loop that it was put into to hold the thermostat to the engine... ANYONE?
