You ever heard the saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink"? If you would have sent the engine to Antique, you would be flying now.

I didn't know he did this kind of work! Reading all the previous posts I did not see his name mentioned. If it was then my bad. Don't fret, if the local machine shop cannot remove it I'll get in touch with him. THANKS!

RE: Can this be fixed???
The diamond cutters work very well to remove taps, I also use them to shape/ sharpen my lathe and mill cutting tools..
ORIGINAL: rangerfredbob
instead of stones I'd use diamond cutters, I've gotten several of the cheezy $7 12V harbor freight rotary tool kits that come with a whole bunch of the diamond bits and have found several uses for them, like drilling a hole half way through my windshield to stop a crack from continuing across the window... and when converting to a different wheel type on my 1/5 scale car I had to drill holes for pins in the hardened rear axle stubs, lubed up an 1/8" diamond bit and drilled on through. Most of them have abrasive at the tips so they can drill straight in, and a bonus is they don't wear out near as bad as a stone
