Honda accord oil pressure switch broke off in whole?


i tried to replace a oil pressure switch in a 97 honda accord. when i tightened in the new one, the threaded end broke off in the hole. i tried screw extractors but they break. right now there is half of a screw extractor stuck in it. there is no way of getting the piece out. all i want to do is fill the whole with some kind of resin so it doesnt leak. any ideas of what would work? i was thinking liquid metal filler. any advice would be great. thank you.

  1. any 2 part high temp epoxie should work,,i'v had luck with liquid steel…bummer what happened,,,but i wonder how the heII u broke an easy out,,they are harder steel than what u were working on,,,good luck

  2. You really have a problem, that switch has to be installed because the oil pressure will blowout whatever type of sealant you try to fill that hole with. You say that you have tried easy outs, they broke. What about left handed drill bits? Bottom line, your going to have to get that broken part out of the block and a new switch put in, making sure that no metal shavings are allowed back down the oil port.
