either weld a nut on it or clamp a drill suck to the stub if you have enough to grab onto, then at low rpm / high torque unscrew it..

Tried to drill it to use screw extractor bit kinda drilled in the wrong place.
So when I get a day off the engine will be coming out to try again. If I have no luck then I will put my spare engine in. But will keep u guys up to date

Did you try clampig the drill chuck into the stub?

Drilling / extracting can be quite tricky unless you've done it a few times and have decent drills / screw extractors, anything else is going to make things worse.

Theres always plus gas and heat along with tacking a stud on the end of it. Can always braize one on if you dont have a welder
