Re: tapping idle well

Kootos for not giving up. Nice to see someone with OCD like me :} Good luck, lets us know how it goes, try a both taps and be careful with the bottoming tap, you might get luck, might have to tap a little and grind off the end of tap to make it right size without going too deep.

Re: Rhoads lifters still made in USA?
