i put 1/2 gal of acetone (prolly NOT a good idea with fiberglass tanks, but i bet theres a similar fiberglass friendly solvent, above suggested some diesel which i hear works good as a detergent) in my alum tanks and drove around town for 15 minutes or so.  they were spotless afterwards. also the local marina here in long beach has a few tank cleaning services.  i dunno what they'd charge for a professional scrub.

KA how much Italian dressing you put in the water ??? Does that really do a lot for the taste ??? Never heard of that one.. always do the boil and barby tho

decent amount.  maybe 1/4 cup or so.  and yeah it makes a big difference.  like the wishbone italian dressing has a bunch of chunk tidbits that make their way inbetween the leaves and adds flavor.  also ive found that trimming em up helps a lot as well.



some food scissors will make this easy.

I'd just clamp em in a vise, drill them out with a good hand drill (or drill press if you have access to one) as vertical as possible and hand tap 'em.........The taper and thread tape on your AN/NPT fitting is what seals it, so it dont need to be anywhere near to close to CNC accurate......But I'm a cheap bastard......... ;)

If you dont have the proper 1/2"  NPT tap or drill, well, then $26 becomes pretty cheap really........

Ray

yeah thats the deal.  by the time i buy the tools i couldve just bought em new.  figure it someone here had a drill and tap id kick em a few.

Is the engine on a stand?  Tell me exactly what you are doing.  Did you just pull the engine to swap pans, or is it a fresh rebuild or what? 

Anything you do with the oil pump should be done carefully, you don't want something coming apart causing the engine to lose oil pressure.

Mine had a tack weld on it as well.

« on: April 16, 2011, 04:55:46 PM »
i went with 4" exhaust simply because theres a bunch of 4" silencers around.  not sure of your setup but my dad had a set of these on his blown 496 with imco exhaust and it made a huge difference in his.  I'll be picking up a set soon to cruise around the harbor in.



all u need to do is drill a little hole in the bottom of your exhaust tube for a small bolt/nut to hold them in place, and then slide them in/out.
