ok, gotta plug oil pressure hole in rear of block

[Fast68Chevy]

ok, since the brass screw in fitting for oil pressure has broken off and will not come out with EZ out and heat or by melting wax into the threads, i have no choice but to plug the hole, i figure soem kind of tapping screw of some kind and some sealer should block it, max prssure woiuld be 60 psi, it seems, so would have to be a preety good plug

anyoen with a good trick or ideas or info, im gonna dig through napa store;'s hardware drawars in the mornign and see what i can find for a flat head tapping screw of some kind

Il worry about findin another place to tap oil pressure gauge line into some other day

thanks

Try using a LH threaded bolt, as soon as it bottoms out it should back the brass fitting out, it has worked for me in the past.

Sears sels drill bits like that too, but you'll pay quite a bit for them though. (no pun intended)

dude wouldnt an easy out work? it would be the same as the left handed bolt trick only they are tapered from big on the end with and small on the other. easy outs are awesome.

[snow man]

try a piece of square bar stock it will work better than an easy out because they seem to spread the brass tighter. taper the end of the bar stock and tap it in. a old screwdriver and a pair of channel locks may also do the same thing. snowman
