I broke off the brass fitting that goes into the block, just under the dizzy. Its the fitting the oil pressure sending unit screws into. So its sheared off flush with the block and I'm wondering what would be the best way to remove the rest of the brass. I'm thinking a bolt extractor bec the hole is there and I dont want to drill. Maybe just maybe I'm not the only person that has done this lol

 

You should be able to get an Easy Out that size.

 

Thanks I just hope it comes out easy and doesnt turn into a nightmare. I'll tackle this one tomorrow morning.

 

Update! Well it did turn into a nightmare. The easyout kit didn't work. The brass was to soft apparently. The extractor did what it was supposed to do except the brass never moved. So here's the end result. The back of the hole broke off the block! Theres no real fix for this. I guess I'll have to get a new block

 

Little confused by the last post. So the casting on the back side of the hole chipped off?

I've seen starter bolt holes chip off like that before. They can be fixed with some welding and grinding.

I would think you could clean it really good, plug it, and seal around it. You could probably find another hole to use that goes into an oil passge like down by the oil filter. I'm sure someone else will chime in on this one thou, as I've never had to do it.

 

Sorry for the confusion. Yes the casting on the back side of the hole chipped off. Yes that would be great to weld up the hole and relocate the oil pressure sending unit.
