if it's been blasted, get the correct size tap & run it through the threads
to clean them of blast media. i'd say some is still present even though it
looks clean.
then steam clean it. pay extra attention to the oilways. if ANY bead is
around when you start the engine you'll be sorry!

Subject: hello and some questions!
Hey, good to find other loopframe fans out there. I have a '72 eldo |
| and another that I bought in boxes that I am slowly putting back together. Kinda like a before and after picture. Anyways, I have the premier manual and I have guzziology. damn good books, both of em. Well, I got engine case beadblasted and the guy who did the blasting pulled the cylinder |
| out of the case. The threads on the ends are different depths, does the short side go in the case or does the long side? also, how difficult |
| it be to screw them in? The one I tried was real difficult, almost felt crossthreaded, but I backed it out and the threads were clean. any tricks to screwing them in? thanks, ray in boston _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx |
