Pulled threads on #3 main

Just to follow up since I know everyone is worried about how this turns out....

Motor is going to be torn down to bare block and goes to the machine shop.
Will use a timesert and a combination of grease on a bit, proper jig, then cleaning out the passage, for just a few bucks more than what I would spend on the timesert kit.
That way if we find more holes that need repair the cost only goes up a little.

And I will sleep better.

Before you start machining - inject the oil galleys with shaving cream, that will keep 99.9% of the chips out and when finnished use a vacuum cleaner to suck it all out.

Old racer back in the 70's recommended using shaving cream in head water passages to prevent anything in head from falling into cyl. on install . Been using it since .
