Help!! Help!!! Help!!!

Alright i had a post on here a couple days ago about a broken bolt in my timeing cover. so then the next day i went to put on my opti and i relized that the bolt i broke is used to hold my opti on. So my qustion do i need that bolt ? There is 2 other bolts holding it on. Will it be ok?
We have tryed every thing to get that bolt out.
(broke 4 bits and 2 easy outs )
should i maybe use a tap on the timeing cover and put a thread in that and just bolt to that or what?

And my engine is out on a stand. frist bump in the road to a succesfull rebuild Please help... open for anything !

If your engine is out on a stand, I would take whatever you need to apart to fix the broken bolt. Do it right and be done with it. Now is not the time to skimp. I would not put the opti on with 2 bolts.
