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= |

I love how these threads go awry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Is cutting oil better for the job? Absolutely. Will WD-40 work? Absolutely. Should he go out and get special cutting oil to do this job? Absolutely not. I'll send him a free, machined engine case if using WD-40 causes a problem. And I'm putting all of you on my ignore list! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |
