TB removal and then some!!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Roadster · 06-01-2017

Found a decent tap and die set at Lowes, which had the needed 1/8" x 27 NPT tap. Paid more for the set, but at least I was getting more pieces as opposed to just buying two items. And has been mentioned about watching out for the cheap sets and reading the reviews, this turned out to be a better investment.
95% of the TB coolant block is completed. All that is needed now is to add the Red Loctite to the plug threads and be done with it...

the tap and die set...

setup and ready to go...

this is a USA made set...

LS done...

RS getting cleaned...

RS is slightly inserted on an angle. thought I had the tap perfectly straight like on the LS, but it is a little off. should not be a problem once the Red Loctite is applied...
