Thanks Don, sharper minds prevail.

Hey, my 7000th post.

Hey, where is Denny and some of those fireworks he can put up? 7000, wow. And every one of them a pearl.

You have really given lots of good, accurate info in those 7000 posts. Thank you.


Don

If you did want to use a heli-coil all the depth you need is 1.5 X bold diameter.
And you could use a locking heli-coil, I doubt you would be able to pull one out by over tightening......Heck, they don't like to come out with proper removal tools

bottom tap. I like the boiling water trick, 325-350 is pretty hot, I usually stay around 225. Does the engine turn in the same or opposite direction of the nose threads ?

Thanks tech, congrats on 7k posts. I am at the point of removing my HB to replace the front seal and wasn't sure on that.
