You said bung....
But, wouldn't it be bad to weld on the housings since they're cast iron? It's not like your burning alot of wire for that little hole.. If you were welding a plate on it I would be afraid of it warping.. |

Or you could counterbore it for a small freeze plug.

The motor will be out of the car..
Maybe I should tap it, plug it, then run water through the motor with a hose or something for a while? Think that would catch all the shavings? (with the water pump housing assembly off...) What do you think? |
Oh yeah and as for polishing..
Should I use a really small grit sandpaper for the finishing touches? Buffing wheel or something? I've never done this before.. I've got it shiny as ****, but not quite a 'glassy' finish. |
use high grit sand paper untill there are absolutely no pits in the metal, then polish that bitch up
|
There was some scuffing from the rougher stuff I was using.. It almost polished out but not quite..
Not enough for my liking anyways. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I guess I'll try higher grit then polish! |
