Oil Nipple

Post by Warpig Racing »

Typical little things!!!!

I got my motor set in, tranny hooked up, headders on, valve lash set, everything but oil adapter lines and filling w/ fluids.... I attempted to put the oil adapter on and the threads were jacked up b/c they got hit w/ a hammer while installing the motor mounts. No biggie after all the nipple was only in hand tight by using a oil filter to install the nipple. Just remove and repace. Should take about half an hour including going to the parts store. NOPE!!! it is siezed in the block. Th nipple broke off and i cant get the old one out! Looks like i will have to remove the engine and remove the nipple (hopefully it doesnt require a tear down to keep metal out of the engine or a trip the the machine shop). I want to cry! Yes a grown man crying. So frustrating!

Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking about a large ez-out.
