What are you using to seal the case halves on a rebuild? Any thread lock for case bolts?

QUOTE Another key in obtaining a good, leak free seal, is to get the mating surfaces REALLY clean and to gently flat file the halves to rid them of any burrs or bumps that may have occurred during disassembly. Be careful Capn, or you just might bring out the types that think if you even TOUCH a case mating surface, that you should just throw it away and start over: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...l=file&st=0 The pics posted are of a spot on the top of the case where a PO obviously tried to pound a chisel between the case halves to separate them. The pics in that thread are where I needed to take the high spots off of the chisel marks. I cleaned up with a sanding block before sealing the halves. (and the abuse was on the top of the case = minimum chance of leakage) Stu |

Gotta let the file do the work, though. Pressing down to speed up the cut is gonna mess up the end result. I took metal shop in 7th grade (yes, they had metal in those days) and we spent a couple of weeks learning how to use a file. Good skill to have, along with patience. The Cap'n |
