Pulled my oil feed tube and banjo bolt off yesterday and half the top thread came along with it 😩
Am I screwed? Or do y’all think it’ll ride with the

banjo bolt? Pics to damage and thread that came off. Thanks for any feedback.

Think you'll be OK. that thread is a known fragile item. Be careful when threading the adapter back in. Use teflon plumbing thread sealer, I prefer the paste type) don't go all gorilla.
Be certain to put a wrench on the hex when snugging the feed tube nut to the adapter so you don't overtorque this thread.
