Hi guys, you may know of my oil leak problem and my progress with it so far (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=45185). Well I've got all the bits I need to do the last couple of threads -- have had the tap machined, etc.
Problem is, I don't believe I'm capable enough of drilling and tapping those threads for the helicoils on my own. I don't have enough experience at this sort of thing, and I've only got one intact cylinder head, so don't really want to stuff it. Last time I got my Uncle to help; here lies the problem. My WOF is rapidly approaching, and obviously clouds of smoke from oil on hot headers is not going to get me a pass, lol. My Uncle happens to be away for longer than my WOF is due, so I'm in trouble here.
I would be very grateful if somebody would please give me a hand to drill and tap these two threads sometime this weekend. In the usual KB manner, beer will indeed be offered :blah:. I live in Mangere Bridge (just over from Onehunga), by the way.
Cheers everybody!
