Okay, finally got my right fitting for the drain. So I put on the feed line adapter T and the bastard breaks right where it screws into the block..

Vortech kit by the way. I am not worried about the adapter..

How do I removed the broken piece inside the block??

 

You need to get an easy out kit.I think sears sells them and i know all the big tool dealers sell them......its not that hard to do.

 

Hmm, I will pick that up tomo. Sears most likely closed by now.. Any other suggestion folks?

 

thats the correct way to do it.

Hopefully you didnt split the oil pan. Thats a very $$$$ mistake

 

Ok, im heading to the store, wish me luck!

Just curious, how much is the "upper oil pan" ? lol

 

That stupid Vortech T is why I decided to dremel out the ball bearing in that passage and make a dedicated oil supply line. I had cracked the oil pan once because of the T-fitting.

 

the pan itself is about 120$ but if you took it to a shop to replace it would be well over 500$ in labor.

After cracking my pan, i used the sandwich adaptor.

 

Eeeew, that sux. If you’re careful it should be a simple fix, no worries! Good luck bro

 

So I went to autozone since I live down the street. They had plenty of bolt extractor bits, but I settle for the kit since it was only $20, plus It came with matching drill bits. I also figured I have shiety luck, might come in handy later.

Got it in, and after less then 5 minutes I got it out!

Pic of broken piece on extractor bit, and very small wrench to turn the bit.
The pan doesn't seem cracked, and the threads are still intacted. I guess im good to go!
Thanks everyone, now I can finish my install!

 

Look really closely at the pan....my guess is that if you had enough force to snap it off in the pan, then you cracked the pan. The casting in that area is so fragile....look closely. Best of luck.

 

Ahh I see. I got everything back in. I have been letting it run for about 10 mins now. No leaks so far.

 

the vortech t fitting is total amatuer hour.... unless they have changed it since the last few i have installed.... they send you a T that is 1/8 NPT, when the threads in the pan are 1/8 BSPT. close, but not the same... and it doesnt thread properly and gets tight after just a few threads.

 

Yes, I realize that also. I felt like a complete idiot when I broke it lol. But when I searched it seem like a common problem.

 

I have another fitting if you want it. Just PM me

 

thats what I was alluding to. Been down that road when I was a noobie. A crack there will drain your pan faster than your warning light can come up.
