Tap stuck in cylinder head

[Hotrod77]

Got a tap stuck in my 97 Ford F-150 4.6 right side cylinder head, is there anything that I drill it out with?

Has it snapped off? Got a photo? You're in the US presumably?

Is the head on the car or on a workbench ?

Of all the forums that could answer that problem for someone in America, I think the last one I would think of signing up to for advice on that would be a U.K. based plumbers forum. Is this the return of you know who?

it could be a real plumbing tap, somehow got sucked through the carb - i'm sure american monster muscle trucks still use carburettors, no shortage of fuel, all actively encouraged by the new environmental minister - drill baby drill

How big do you think any carb is?

Either get a tap extractor or weld something to it so you can unwind it.

After that your looking at spark erosion which isn't cheap.
