The time has come to rebuild the original EA motor in my '72.
I am most of the way though teardown, I will add some photos of the worn parts in a later post. I am trying to figure out the size of the tool to use to remove this fastener, the cover for the second oil pressure relief piston and spring.  Factory service manual has it as M14 internal head socket. I searched for it but all I could find is the AST Tool # S 54 X-14 at the link listed below http://www.asttool.com/detail_page.php?too...r=S%2054%20X-14 Does anyone know if this is the correct tool? Thanks for looking, Mike |

Dont glass bead it, you wont see it after you build it...
Waste of money and it could imbed beads into the surface..not cool. Also will require you to super clean the case after. Do have him remove all the freeze plugs and tap them for threaded plugs... Rich |

Rich Thanks Rich for responding, I had just those same thoughts about the bead blasting, and yes next stage is to tap and thread the oil galleys! |
