I can't understand a word you're saying.

Put it back together, figure out why the belt broke (because if you don't fix that, it'll happen again), and see if you have any valve damage.

the crankshaft pully bolte broke so what do i do?

[deevergote]

Replace it. And figure out why it broke. They don't usually just break.

if you know a master mechanic he should have an air torque drill. Use a small drill bit and go straight into the bolt! When you do that go buy a cheap but decent torque screwdriver heat up the bolt hit the screwdriver into it then use a vice to get enought leverage on it to twist it out the heat is to loosen anything that could be holding it in. I had to do this on a block bolt on a 66 mustang and it worked with absolutly no problems.

had this problem before, we headed to our local sears, purchased a few things, a thread tap, some kind of bolt extractor kit, and the handle( for use with both ) got it out with some patience. the replacement bolt from honda was more then a few of those tools, but dont quote me on that. rough idle at first but got it tuned afterwards.

how much of the bolt is still in the crankshaft? You broke the whole head off right?

If thats the case, then most if all of the torque has been relieved. I would then grind/cut a slot into the bolt shank with a dremel the right size for a flathead screwdriver and just unscrew it.

OR you can drill a hole and use a screw extractor/EZ-out tool to remove the piece of the bolt. Just make sure your hole size and depth are good for the EZ-out you choose to use. They sell these at almost any autoparts store. Just be very careful because the EZ-out is hardened steel and you will break it if you stress it in the wrong direction.
