Hi,
In the past I have paid to have gallerys plugged. I have another engine and think that this is omething I can do myself. So here are my questions. Three sizes of NPT pipe tap are required. 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8. Is more than one style of each required? Or can it all be done with a tapered or other style of tap? Should the plugs be tapered? If so where does one get such plugs? Or better yet a link to Mcmaster for the correct type of plug. What material? Where do you get them? Are any of the plug locations a problem, like the depth is very different that the others, or seating the plug too depp restricting oil flow? Enlighten me. Carlos |

that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I do the five 3/8"NPT, five 1/4"NPT and one 1/8' NPT
Any local flaps should have the taps, drill bits are easy and the are not hard to find as well. |
