I'm 3-5 hours away from completing my vortec upgrade when the dipstick shaft breaks of in the block

. I've tried everything to remove it. heat, pry bar, pliers vice grips...even tried holding a piece of cheese in front of it. Looks like I'll have to pull the engine like I should have in the first place. Up side is I can replace pan gasket and seals
