|
|
While doing the conditional inspection, we found a cross-threaded intake runner collar on my Housai engine. The first couple of rows of threads on the engine case were pretty badly damaged.
The bright minds at Santa Paula (including Hal Provo) concocted and fabricated this tool that worked perfectly. It re-cut the damaged threads nearly good as new and a potentially huge repair was reduced to a much smaller repair (well other than having to fabricate a tool and spend a night in a hangar!).
Since I now have this tool, if anyone in the community has occasion to need it, I'd be happy to "rent" it at a very nominal fee. I assume (but don't know for sure) that it would be the same for an M14?
