thats actually a factory test, you put air into the spark plug hole and look in the radiator

To check the water seals, why didn't I think of that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

I have all the tools, been in this buisness for too long, just never tried to tap the hole on a rotary. I'm just wondering the consequences of some shavings getting in. In a piston engine, it really don't matter that much, plus it's easy to get out

guess we will see

Well it took 2.5 hours to get the tap to go in straight, but once I lined it up, it went right in. I used alot of grease on the tap each time I passed it into the hole, so most of the shavings came out, cranked it a few times, put some anti-sieze on the plug, plug went in fine, car starts, car runs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
