Engine Dilemna!!!

[NOTALENT]

I swear this boat hates me!!! as we were finishing up last night...installing the starter we came to realize that there is a bolt broken off inside the block about a 1/4 inch deep inside the block!!! The guy we bought the motor from failed to mention...and well I didnt think to check it.... :( come 10:30 here @ work im pulling the motor back out...and going to try and tap the bitch out....with an ecl and a guide...hopefully it works...or else im screwed... :cry:

Damn dude sounds like the hot boat gods are not on your side at the moment. You should be able to use an E-Z out on it and get the bolt out unless it got snapped because someone was to lazy to use a torque wrench and hulked the sh*t till it snapped. If that's the case you may want to consider going down to a machine shop and seeing if they can laser it out.

Try a left hand drill first! if it is not welded into the threads, that and some heat on the block should let it loose!

[NOTALENT]

last night we tried the left hand drill while it was still in the block..but we couldnt get the angle we needed...so I am pulling the focker @ work today...and using the guide to make sure it drills straight and hopefully that works...if not...I may need to take it to a shop and have them lazer it...good thing my company has all the tools... :D :burningm:

Yes...left handed drill first with some PB Blaster or Kroil...
