Block Rethreading

[southside]

How much will it cost and where can I get it done.

[JITB]

any machine shop will do it for u....cant help u with a price tho..

what thread is it? spark plug threads? intake exhaust manifold?

[southside]

4 Head studs

[JITB]

shouldnt be too much considering u can take the head off and take it to the machine shop.. and they can knock it out in a second!

[jadakid88]

no they cant thats my problem now. no one in the metro area can do it because it is to far down

i was about to post i don tknow, but a few secs..in google found it... :goodjob:

[southside]

Damn I go up there every so often and never thought about asking if they do that lolhaha yea I got to scott pretty often too but never thought I would need dis sh*t.THe reason I wont be out b4 summers up:D :2up:

Have you checked scotts machine shop in fayetteville or precision auto on hwy 85? both have on there site that they rethread blocks.I would throw the block away and buy a new one before I would let scotts do anything to it. I wouldn't let them air up a tire, much less any sort of machine work, or anything else for that matter. They should have some sort of "special education" work program. Their work quality would drastically increase.

Go to sears or to O'riely's and buy a bolt extractor kit. It will probably take about 10 minutes to remove it.

[southside]

Really hard to turn

[JITB]

well u might be able to re thread it like blackshine said, with a kit form the parts store... ive done it before on a spark plug thread. But if its really deep than its gonna be hard to find something that long..

[blackshine007]

Really hard to turn
Oh, my bad. Blow out the holes with compressed air. If at all possible, get a tap and die kit and go over each hole. Make sure you blow any trash out of it or it will be very difficult to turn.

[southside]

^^^Yea I think my friends already tried dat,didnt work.

[southside]

Oh, my bad. Blow out the holes with compressed air. If at all possible, get a tap and die kit and go over each hole. Make sure you blow any trash out of it or it will be very difficult to turn.Ok what would the die kit do

[blackshine007]

It would help by cleaning up slag that was caused by trash that was in the bolt hole while you were trying to install that bolt. And it's good assurance that you will have a whole that won't tear up your bolts.

[southside]

^^^Ok thanks

[southside]

its about time to let your scott hating go. its getting old.do you know what scott did to him:thinking:

[Init2winit]

its about time to let your scott hating go. its getting old.I don't care how old it gets. They do ****ty work, period. If you don't like what I have to say, and if you're too ****ing stupid to see that their workmanship is that of an elementary school kid, then **** off. Its like I said before, if you're too god damn stupid to know good work from bad work, then you don't know what bad work is.

[Init2winit]

do you know what scott did to him:thinking:I have had to clean up several of Scott's Machine Shop's messes. I'm not getting in depth with what all I have encountered, because there is simply too much. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

[Grimm Reeper]

oh ok thats cool I stay near publix on 138.It was a min back when I seen ya.

When I get her back on the road I'll be sure to hit you up :goodjob:

[southside]

Dont go to Scotts. They are garbage. they ruined my perfectly good mustang engine.

-Ant.Seems like they just mess up mustang motors,Guess they dont know much about them.Well now that I think about it they did mess up my friends h22 shortblock.

[AnthonyF]

Yea, i heard a lot of other mustang owners ***** about them.

they measured wrong and my main bearings and rod bearings melted within 30 minutes of running.

My friend they put his piston rings in wrong.Scared his block up I dont trust them putting together a motor.But I just use them for machine work

[Init2winit]

My friend they put his piston rings in wrong.Scared his block up I dont trust them putting together a motor.But I just use them for machine workI had a guy bring me a 347 that they did the machine work on, and assembled. He was complaining about having low oil pressure. I took it apart, and found several broken rings (from not being propperly gapped), a hand full of spiral locks in the oil pan, with 4 wrist pins sliding to one side scaring up the cylinder walls, and discovered his low oil pressure problem to be that they machined the main journals in the block too large. With a brand new bearing, there was almost .005 clearance on the mains. The crankshaft was within specs. To balance the engine, rather than drilling holes in the counter weights in the crankshaft, they cut large pieces out of them. So instead of the counter weights being a half moon shape, they looked like half octogons.

[Init2winit]

That is just one of the many.

:goodjob: problem solved eh?

[southside]
