Ouch! Ask a welder.. would he fill it up with something that will grip the cast iron. maybe braizing rod or steel welding, then recentre the whole thing and retap a bolthole in there. Motor engineers must come up against this occasionally, but its a matter of cost in fixing it or replacing it.

 

I think another block will be the way to go, anyone who works on it will be on $100+ an hour.

new block it is then guys!

..pass the bill to your dad!

He was only trying to help come on! ahahhaha

I know the feeling...

 

Still, I wish I had left-hand drills 40years ago, I've broken off plenty of Eziouts and made jobs even worse.

Oh man broken eziouts are the worst

Done it a few times at work.

And also broken tap bits you spend all the time drillin and tapping then the darn bit breaks and you gotta start again lol

Any one in NSW want to sell a 4k to me! ahah
