Thinking of getting a longer bolt if there are threads that are still intact at the end? Anyone know if this is possible? I will fix this properly at the next oil change. As I understand the bolt is and m6 x 40mm , would a 50mm and a couple of washers and a little blue loctite be fine temporarily, it wouldn't block the oil flow or something like that?

Thanks guys.
i did this with the bottom one of the three be very careful as i tapped mine out to the next size and then pumped it full of wd to wash the swarf back out the hole .... the wd dint fill the hole up instead it pumped all the swarf into the casing and it had to take it off to make sure there was no harmful swarf in my motor i thought it was a blank hole but turns out it wasnt
