Does anyone have an M22x1.5 tap or thread chaser I could borrow?

I really don’t like borrowing tools, but it’s a big size and fine thread. Most kits don’t have it.

2

for what?

3

A.I.R. pipe plug in the headers. Threads are pretty crappy and have coating on them, plug only goes in half way.

4

long tubes will fix that

5

I have bungs for my LT1 (AIR delete) that you might want to use to ream out the threads. I keep spares around because my car tends to throw them off from time to time. If you want one, say the word and it’s yours.

6

yes i had them… but their in the giant tool box at firestone :frowning:

7

I don’t know if a regular carbon steel will be enough to clean up the threads or not. I might just have to buy a decent sized kit. Not that I WANT to buy more tools, but what can you do when you NEED them. :wink:

8

Well, if you lube up the threads real good, it MIGHT work and it’s free… If you are interested let me know.

Can I stay with you or Brian? Cause I might not have a place to live if I spend any more time or money on this project! I think she’d starting to get a little pissed that it’s taking so long. There’s landscaping to be done.

jeff get that thing done

your wife wants the POOL in bye the end of summer :slight_smile:

:doh: Pool idea might be done. New idea is to level part of the yard and build a retaining wall. It would take a SHITLOAD of dirt to do that and a big ass wall.

But you’re right, I need to get it done and move on to ard work!

And thanks to Keith for the extra plug.
