I'm sure you will be happy with the results. Comment on the HF taps/dies, there's certain things that I wouldn't buy at HF: anything that requires high grade steel. And, Sears sells a thread restorer kit, about $50 that works much better for chasing threads on bolts and cleaning holes. They will also pull slightly damaged threads back into alignment rather than cut thru them like a tap will. Using slightly too much of the Right Stuff is way better than using too little. Any that oozes into the inside will just set up and stay there, no problem. Any that oozes out can be removed if you want. Looks like you'll be back to driving soon. |
