Hi Don,
Can you tell me what the largest diameter thread is that can be drilled and tapped in the water jacket sideplate bolt holes?
I have been thinking about using an internally threaded product called an "easysert" which can be installed in a tapped and threaded hole. They come pre-coated on the outside threads with a loctite sealant activated when they are threaded into the newly tapped hole and they are also available in 303 'passivated' S/S.
The 5/16" internally threaded "easysert" requires a 1/2" 13tpi hole - is this too big for the material available in the block water jacket holes?
If 5/16" is too large then I could go down to 1/4" and use a step shouldered bolt - the 1/4" "easysert" requires a 7/16" 14tpi threaded hole.
Cheers!
