You might see if you can jamb a cheap HF NPT tap up there & get it to bite CCW into the piece

In the other thread you wrote Quote:
Oil pickup tube cracked two threads below the boss! Woohoo! Not nearly as bad as it could have been!
It sounds like an EZ-Out type extractor is what you'll need to get it out.
Just find one that the correct size to get it to bite and back out the broken piece.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Nuway tools in Santa Clara, or a plumbing supply store with have the extractors. You tap them in and turn them out.
Are you going to inspect a rod bearing or two?

6pakbee, interesting you mentioned the different (cut/rolled) threads as I tried to thread a 1/2 pickup (MP iirc) with a 1/2 NPT die & it would not work & I had no clue what the problem was.

i did check that there was clearance to the bottom of the pan. however, the engine was on a cherry picker with a tire underneath it, and i came out the next morning, and the engine was on the tire. there was still plenty of tension on the chain, so the entire weight of the engine was not resting on the pan.
i didn't think much of it, (because the entire weight of the engine wasn't on the pan), and put the engine in. it was only after it was installed that i noticed the pan was slightly dented in. it didn't seem that bad at all, so i decided i would leave it and deal with it later. never occurred to me that it might have pushed the pan into the pickup and stressed it.
i haven't cleaned out the pan to investigate the bottom of it yet. i assume that if it did contact the bottom of the pan enough to stress it, there will be marks on the inside of the pan, so hopefully that will show me something.
