Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP

Re: Zenith jet drill bits.
How finicky do you have to be about hole roundness and precision? Do you need to drill undersize and use a reamer? An .035" reamer from McMaster Carr is $23 plus shipping.

Re: Rear Diff Plug HELP
I vote no on easy outs, if they break, the job gets 10X worse. If you can weld, go that way. Chase the threads with grease in the flutes of the tap to keep chips out of the diff. I use Teflon tape on...

Re: Rebuilt Engine Options
With at least the 6:1 head, you need to manipulate the spark advance lever more to suit the engine’s needs. Also maximum advance is less. I have gotten used to it and it is as comfortable as double...
