Still have the same tap after 9 years, you know that anvil mallet statement right!

WTF!? LOL




I hope not. Getting a broken tap out of a block is not fun.

Yeah, no bueno. If I ever get in that predicament, I'm selling everything I own and retiring to video games.




I also broke a torque wrench today, so I'm in the market for a snap on if anyone has one for sale.

You sir are not allowed to touch my tools

I don't want your dirty texas tools anyways! In my defense, I always replace what I break.

Given a glass hammer and an anvil you would break the anvil.. I think

That sounds about right.

Thank you buddaaaayyy!
 
Is it done yet?

Almost, I finished tapping for the head studs yesterday, I hope it was enough. The valve covers tightened down enough to flex the gasket a little. If it doesn't seal, then I guess I'll have to drill a hole right where the bolt is, and have someone TIG a cap on it. Or something like that.

I have to clean the starter and maybe paint it tomorrow, and zip the manifold bolts in, and it's ready to go back to tulsa.
 
I never said you couldn't come buy and use them...just not borrow them. :hehe:
 
Mike is a bit shy at first, but after a few labatts he's reaching for your tool(s).
