Author Message   Slaughter Posted on Friday, September 16, 2011 - 09:03 pm:        Found busted exhaust stud. No problem, Jim's stud tool made drilling it out easy. Found my ignition short and repaired it... Free-hand drilled the pilot for the Helicoil tap and got off--centered with the tap and SNAP! $^&(* Gaw!$#@%-it! I wanted to practice tomorrow for the races and now I start the day with the diamond-bit on the Dremel... and HOPE I can get it all fixed. Still gotta change clutch pack on the slipper, and change fluids. Farcking ham-handed, impatient $&#^-ing IDIOT Thank you for listening, I feel MUCH BETTER. Maybe I'll take pics when I calm down.

The diamond bits won't do it, but the tungsten carbide ones will. A broken tap took two of them, but I bet a drill bit is softer, so you might get away with one.   Slaughter Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2011 - 09:22 am:        Good advice... starting with tungsten carbide. Got it about half-out last night. It'll go OK today. Dang but I coulda used the track time today. I can fix the screw-up but quote: You can't fix stupid!   Reepicheep Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2011 - 11:30 am:        Ain't that the truth... Ask me how I know SOOOOO much about removing broken studs, taps, and easy-outs (sigh....)   Slaughter Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2011 - 10:02 pm:        Geez... coulda used the seat time today but the machine is ready, fees paid, practice laps start tomorrow at 0830 Good to go. (bad mood fading)   Slaughter Posted on Saturday, September 17, 2011 - 10:05 pm:        Race 1, 2, 5 and 15 Back to back with only a few races to cool off. Tough day - but a long break for lunch!   Rde48 Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2011 - 07:55 pm:        Good Luck   Blake Posted on Sunday, September 18, 2011 - 11:01 pm:        You da man!   Whitetrashxb Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 - 03:35 pm:        Get 'em tiger!   Smoke Posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 07:14 am:        good going Steve! don't do that again though. tim   Blake Posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 09:19 am:        Just think of all the grouting you could be doing.
