Default Re: Broken tap

the taps are high carbon and very hard, if you get a torch with a very small welding tip and put the flame on the tap(last resort) it will turn to slag which will be easy to get out with a dental pick, i have had to do that on several engines with broken taps, they got stuck and were broke because of to much torque applied
