Just drilled the GP till it was past the threads and then used a set of tweezers to extract it. Since we didn't get the angole perfect, we did cut into the side of the head a little but I don;t think that affects anything. The threads are also screwed up so we will have to work on that. What is this Timesert you speak of?
