I've got all the needed drill bits & 1/2" drill. All you'd need is the 5 galley plugs (easy to find @ any hardware store).

I've got it in a box, if you are a reputable member of the board I'll send you the kit if'n you swear on your momma's grave that you'll send it back to me or forward it on to the next sucker engine rebuild DIY'er.

Consider this my good deed for the day year. PM me or call me if you know my ph#.

Jake's forum has a very useful "how to", I'm not about to try to replicate it. Also, if you aren't sure of where/what's involved then you prob are not a candidate for the kit.. No offense meant just so ya know.

I'm not sure if you have to register or not, but if you are rebuilding an engine it's likely that you've already registered w/his site...

I bleeve the proper drill diameter for 3/8" NPT is 9/16 (or 37/64). 1/2" drills 'almost' worked with the taps I used.

Correct - I bought a bottom of the line harbor freight 1/2" drill. I spent the better part of an afternoon running around town finding this bit/that bit, drill, etc...

It's all in a box, ready to loan out to someone - I'm starting to lose faith in the board... Maybe just not a lot of engine rebuilds going on right now - maybe a more popular "off season" project.

the 1/2" drill worked just fine w/the large bit (forget the bit size). I'm an ordinary, average guy (Joe Walsh anyone?) and was trying to do the job without having to buy a production quality drill.

It is still alot of work, not the drilling part just the tapping part.
I finished mine up a few months ago.
For me this IS the off season. Too freaking hot even to autocross.

Thanks!

Who's up next? I completed the job with the kit and it was very easy - and came out very professional! The plugs we not real easy to source but found a place on line! Let me know if you want to borrow the kit?

Big thanks to Pete (aka ptravnic) - really appreciate it!

I must have missed this thread, I could've used this as I just recently did this.

I also ran around town looking for the right tools and had to borrow 1/2" drill motor, it sucked, wasted 2 hrs shagging down tools.

Guy's, I he is refering to a 1/2" drill MOTOR(chuck size) not a 1/2" drill bit.

Correct, 1/2" drill. Glad to hear Verne got use out of the "kit". Sorry to hear about the trouble finding plugs.

Who's next?
