I am looking into a Time-Sert solution. I will drill slowly by hand and use all possible precautions to prevent shavings. If anyone has thoughts on this please chime in. Thanks.
It will not be easy to stop swarf from getting into the torque converter - if for example you were trying to drill out a spark plug hole then you could apply a constant flow of pressurised air via the inlet manifold to help push any debris back out of the hole you're drilling. I don't see how you can do that with a torque converter - especially when it is in place.

Let us all know how you get on.
