It slipped with the spiral style extractor. The fluted style allowed me to use a deep socket to really apply torque.

Correct me if I’m wrong but that NPT fitting is supposed to be tapered? The fitting I removed was a euro style non tapered.

I plugged the other end to prevent shavings from getting into the cam chest.

Yup, that's a 1/4" pipe threaded hole.
