Hello I was wondering is there any alternate oil feeds for an 1.6 I’ve broken off a fitting in the side of the block and then I tried to remove it with an extractor and broke off the extractor in the fitting… my luck lol. But I’ve tried to drill it out but the drill will not drill through to the extractor bit and I don’t won’t to get any shavings in . So is there any other ways will I be able to t off the oil sender unit or is there some other place I could use. I do not have many resources right now so I would like to still be able to boost the motor.

Yes I know the spot may leak a bit but I will have to pull the engine sometime but I will not be able to anytime soon so I hope there will be another way

Stainless - not brass, sender tee (recommended) or sandwich plate. Sender might be a bit more fiddling with the engine in

I just went through similar with a exhaust manifold bolt on an LS2.

You need to buy a high quality set of bits meant to go through hardened metals and alloys. My buddy (who owns the ls2) bought a $50 drill bit that cut through the titanium bit that broke in there like it was butter.

Drill it out, than try another EZ out or drill it out larger and tap it to another size that is beneficial to you. Leaving the broken bits in there will not stop it from leaking like a sieve.
