I walked in the garage and immediately knew I had a problem. Here's another clue. Can you identify this little part?

On the topic of taping the galleys...
What are the recommendations on types of threaded plugs? Aluminum? Brass? Steel? What type of sealant? Or loctite? All 3/8" NPT? -Josh2 |

All 3/8" NPT? -Josh2 Steel, I've tried brass and aluminum and both will round out the hex before they're fully tightened. I've used locktite in the past but I've used locktite liquid teflon for several years now. The big plugs (5) are 3/8NPT and these are the ones that have issues. You can do the smaller 1/4NPT and 1/8NPT but I don't. I use WD-40 for cutting lube and you must test fit the plugs to make sure you're deep enough to clear the flywheel...but not too deep. |
