In preparation for an engine rebuild, I wanted to get myself up to speed on drilling/tapping the oil galley plugs.
Search revealed conflicting information about whether all should be removed and tapped or just the five big ones. What's the current school of thought on this? Also, what size plugs and drill/tap will I need. Thanks! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=103988&hl= |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) A second tap is handy.
Also, when drilling the aluminum DON'T PUSH the drill. Pressure will make the bit grab and will spin the drill. Best is to use a drill that has a clutch on it, for safety. If your drill doesn't have a clutch, be ready to completely let go of it if the bit catches. But if you keep very very very very very light pressure on the bit, you will minimize the bit-catches. |
