Still can't get the broken bolt drilled out. I have made no progress on this thing. Getting discouraged.

This is my 1st oil change. I looked last night and the threads on the pan look pretty good still. I am going to get a new plug and clean up the threads with a tap. Yes getting rid of the emissions.

In steel. It is already half drilled out so I can no longer weld to it.

Good morning Jim and Jay! We made it to Hump Day!

It is by no means snowmagedon. Haha

Yeah that doesn't leave much to weld to. Well good luck getting it drilled out. Good luck on the drain plug too.

Happy Thursday/Friday guys.

Got the rest of the emissions crap out last night and we think we have the he drilled enough to now tap. We need a bottoming tap though. And can't get the tunes loaded now until next week because the tech guys are on vacation this week.
