Damn spell check it’s mitee-bite clamps

Miter-bite clamps sorry for the mis-spelling

That or use mite bite clamps they will apply side pressure to the plate by the way of an eccentric

Try clamping it 90 degrees from your spacers and make sure your clamp goes from end to end.

This is caused by a couple issues as mentioned above #1 issues I see is the rod pins are to small compared to the mains. So any stress that happens to be transferred through the crankshaft is going to the weak spot thus the rod pins. #2 Need to get rid of the sharp 90% corners on the main pins...

Will to honest when it was used correctly it did not produce this gas. You know you see them little warnings on things that may hint at how and how not to use a product. But it still had other harmful chemicals in it that was bad for the environment. And I think Lloyd was correct I think it was...

I can tell you from experience the old tap magic stuff once it got hot and started to smoke it produced Hydrogen Chloride gas if I recall. Years ago I had some work that needed around 300 holes taped to 9/16 did these in a day. and I was using it for drilling and tapping the holes. Needless to...

I will just throw this out to you. Do you have a crankcase breather on the engine or any other way for vapors to escape along with moisture. If you don’t then you will build up crankcase pressure and it will kill the engine. But it allows moisture to escape from the engine. It looks like to me...

Also small engines Briggs and Stratton, Kohler Engines, and other small engines use the big end of the rod without a bearing if it’s a aluminum rod. thanks Tom

The automotive industry for years engines have ran overhead camshafts in the aluminum heads without bearings using the aluminum head itself as the bearing. Thanks Tom

Lmao sorry people I put this in the wrong chat Thanks your local ***** Tom

I have personally had the pleasure of line boring EMD engines up to 253 inches in length For almost 12 years when I managed a locomotive engine rebuild shop and machine shop. Great times when you have a natural sag or bow that you must contend with along with the serrations on the main caps and...

Hello Use a taper shank bit that match’s your tail stock taper. Drill somewhat close to final size but leave yourself enough room to correct any alignment problems that may be encountered from drilling. Then line bore to final size while correcting any alignment issues. Thanks Tom

Boat stands for ( break out another thousand ) Thanks Tom

Let me explain myself you would be using the boring head to turn the OD of the piston. Also holding a piston to .001 is not bad at all this would pass any tolerance spec of any piston

Brian If the piston is aluminum the stone will just plug up. Any way you can do it on a mill with a adjustable bore head

Awake That’s the way it always happens to me. Open mouth wider and insert the other foot. Lol lol Thanks Tom

There are days when I wished I didn’t do much stainless either. But that only seems to happen when I am home. Tom

If you are drill a lot of holes or deep holes you will be better off bypassing the coolant system that comes with the mag drill and hook up a garden sprayer that you can pressurize. To the port on the adapter. Or if you are drilling out of position. On your milling machine a nice flood coolant...

Richard I use the standard spiral non coated in stainless without much problem 80% of my drilling is in stainless. Depending on the stainless 316 no problem. Harder stainless then I will use coated ones. But for general purposes good quality non coated for home should work just fine. Will...
