I would not drill it out if I were you --- what I did when mine was broken off flush with the head was just to take a good pair of needle nosed pliers and pull it out while twisting slightly... if your head is like mine then there is a machined (well like ) recessed area where the bulb bottoms out on in the head and if you drill this you will damage this "stop" and not be able to use the proper temp bulb and cable ! Not all heads on these engines have a bushing before the head itself -- some temp retaining nuts are the same thread as the female portion on the head itself and thereby the temp bulb threads directly into the head "without" a bushing needed! Believe me I have been all through this.. that is to say if your head is like mine and has not been tampered or altered, or, in some cases replaced with another head of a different designed port for the temp bulb and sender ! Email me if you need -- I would be happy to assist.. JIM
