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

I also had metal shop in 8th - 12th grades... for fun. The shop teacher was obsessive about many things but especially about surface preparation. I never found in all of these years any reason to think that was a bad thing.
Most of the sealing problems (in this case) point directly back to poor surface prep. I've taught my girls (now grown) all about files, taps, dies, drills, solvents, coolants, 0000 steel wool, crocus cloth, machine tools, and most everything they need to do life's maintenance/fabrication correctly. I'm convinced the majority of folks in the USA now don't have a proper set of sharp files and deburring tools in their garage... if they have tools at all!!! Naturally we in this forum have lots of them. |
