Broken coolant drain bolt ! Help broken drill bit...
Okay long story short I was using a screw extractor to get it out and broke the actual drill bit inside. It's like a 5/64 or something like that. I'm going to just drill and tap it. Could I heat up the broken drill bit and then drill it through ? Or would it warp my engine. Hope I make sense.

Yes that's what I originally tried but I broke the drill bit before I had a chance to use the reverse bit.
So then I bought the actual tapping kit.
Basically I messed up even more lol now I just gotta drill through the bolt with the broken bit inside the bolt
And then rethread it. I already drilled almost through it but the last 8th of an inch is hard to get by with the bit being right there .
