Found busted exhaust stud. No problem, Jim's stud tool made drilling it out easy. Found my ignition short and repaired it... Free-hand drilled the pilot for the Helicoil tap and got off--centered with the tap and SNAP!

$^&(* Gaw!$#@%-it! I wanted to practice tomorrow for the races and now I start the day with the diamond-bit on the Dremel... and HOPE I can get it all fixed. Still gotta change clutch pack on the slipper, and change fluids.

Farcking ham-handed, impatient $&#^-ing IDIOT

Thank you for listening, I feel MUCH BETTER.

Maybe I'll take pics when I calm down.

I feel your pain. The diamond bits won't do it, but the tungsten carbide ones will. A broken tap took two of them, but I bet a drill bit is softer, so you might get away with one.

Good advice... starting with tungsten carbide. Got it about half-out last night. It'll go OK today. Dang but I coulda used the track time today.

I can fix the screw-up but

Ain't that the truth... Ask me how I know SOOOOO much about removing broken studs, taps, and easy-outs (sigh....)

Race 1, 2, 5 and 15

Back to back with only a few races to cool off.

Tough day - but a long break for lunch!

Just think of all the grouting you could be doing.
