Oil feed help??

[nash421]

Hi, I had an oil leak coming from the block to turbo. I removed the fitting and line on the block to turbo and it snapped with the bottom piece of fitting still in block. Does any1 know what size extractor I would need to remove or any other way to remove old fitting? I definitely do not want to cause any more damage. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I think you are on the right path with an extractor and the way I always approached extractors was use the smallest one that will catch first. That way you can work your way up. If I had the choice I would spray the threads with PB blaster and let it sit over night and then try a fluted type extractor. The whole repair approach without a tear-down is a bit of a Hail Mary as you may have guessed already. If any metal shavings start coming off that could be bad news. The only insurance I can think of against it would be to get an oil pump primer after you extract the broken portion and pump oil out the hole to force out any chips. I'd describe that as optimistic though.
