HELP! snapped oil fitting in block!
help, i had a small oil leak comming fron the oil fitting and so i decided to tighten it, but as i was tighten it i guess i tighted it too much and it snapped right off. I can't believe i was so careless. I tried to get a screw extractor kit and hand twist it off but i can't seem to do it, maybe i'm not strong enough......ionno but it seems pretty stuck in there.
has this ever happened to anyone? any tips, advice? thanks

Re:HELP! snapped oil fitting in block!
if the problem is what i'm thinking of, i had the same issue w/ a turbo i bought. you can take an allen wrench socket that is a little bit bigger than the inside of the hole, and hammer the socket into it and just unscrew it. might not work out too well though since it's in a tight space, but it's worth a try. hope that made sense

Sorry i don't have a camera, so can't really get any pictures of it
I can't really get any leverage to twist the stupid lil handtool screw extractor kit thing i got from pepboys, so i don't think that allen wrench idea will be any different, thanks though
Anyone have any more advice? i need to go to school tomorrow. Thanks
