Is it common practice to heat the little bolts holding the tin on the engiine in order to remove them. I have been soaking them with penetrating oil. Iask this is I don’t wanna get anything too hot and damage the engine case. Looking to see what others have done as I’ve already broken one I will have to tap it out just don’t wanna have to do more if I can help it

I have a oxy/propane cutting torch, not as hot as oxy/acetylene, but perfect for cars. For me worth the bother of an oxygen tank and propane is way cheaper than acetylene.

Do tell. I don't use much acetylene but my tank is getting low. Even Argon has gone way up in last couple years with inflation + new Hazmat fees my gas supplier puts on bottles.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I just went to a welding supply shop and told them I wanted to convert, dude had me the kit in a second. IIRC the tip, sort of an inner tip and a jet. This is 25+ years ago, 10 or so years ago I had to replace just the tip... I think?... But the welder supply had the stuff in stock. BTW I go through lots of oxygen, but I get several years out of a tank of propane. |
