Reply to "Snapped bolt in block - how deep can this be drilled?"

Now for your next 'Mission Impossible', grab that disgustingly corroded sheet metal heater hose bib above the drilled out bolt, with the biggest pair of Vice-Grips you own and rip it out before it breaks at speed! Those outlets are consumable items every few years unless you tap the block for a pipe thread (almost impossible in the car), or talk Marlin Jack the machinist into making you a thickwalled stainless steel outlet that pounds into the stock block hole.
