Are there different types of chase taps?
Tinker , I have complete motors , partial blocks & want to determine which are useable , thought I would clean all the threads on the good blocks.
First flathead disassembly for me , hope the head bolts come out with no problems.
Bolts or studs? Do not rush either for broken ones can spell a lot more work down the road.

Heat, penetrating oil, and patience make all the difference in the world. Spent 15 hours getting the studs out of a 99A block. Sucks, but got them after trying multiple approaches.
