RE: FE Specific Machining/Oil Passage work for rebuild |

Besides enlarging the hole (From both directions) from the pump to the filter adapter, I flare both the oil pump holes on the block where the filter adapter goess on. I also flare the block main saddle oil holes so they line up better with the bearing holes. I also replace all the oil gallery press-in plugs with threaded plugs. You can enlarge the block holes with a hand drill (be careful...and I think I did 7/16, not 1/2") and the flaring can be done with a bullett shaped burr on a hand drill. The cast iron is soft, and a non-carbide burr cuts quickly enough not to frustrate you, but slow enough to maintain control |
