oil feed bolt broken off in engine....suggestions
while installing my oil feed line today i managed to break off the bolt that screws into the oil pressure sensor hole on the back of the block. Would it be impossible to get out with the engine still in the car? If not, how would I go about getting it out? This is so shitty...i was so close to being boosted. Thanks for the help

Either, drill it out the best you can and retap for the same or larger size (though you risk getting some metal in the engine.
OR, get a reverse drillbit (I think they might sell them at sears?) and it should take it out.
I think FIRST I would try to somehow slot it and back it out with a screwdriver, then try to find a reverse drill bit, THEN if you can't, drill it out for real with a drill bit the same size as the piece that's broken off, not including the threads (so slightly smaller) and then try to tap it out the same size.
Good luck man.

I would attemp this first, definetly. If not then your gonna have a **** hole of a time repairing the block.
