I can't see how you could tap a new thread with out getting swarf in the block, It's a case of take a chance or strip the engine down you may get lucky who knows.

But don't be suprised if it goes t1ts up.

crank it over without pipe connected to block, which will pump oil out and hopefully any swarfe with it!

Since when has aluminium been magnetic :lol:

 

[stumo]

you never heard of an aluminuim magnet?

jeeez:roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[MarkTurbo]

No, we dont have modern stuff like that down this part of the country ;-)

 

[stumo]

well you could put your jug of scrumpy down and use the wet end of the piece of straw that was in your mouth to pick out the bits of aluminium. Ooooarrrrrr

Since when has aluminium been magnetic :lol:

Ok its been a long day lol

strip it down it is then, after ive only just put it back in- i love owning a pulsar

 

[pulsarboby]

why not do what i said earlier, crank it over with the pipe from block aimed at a bucket, all the swarfe will come out with the oil, as the feed is directed to the turbo, why would you want to strip it down:?

 

[rossdj1983]

cause after spending over 5k on my engine and turbo theres no way im gonna risk putting swarf through it. if it was standard i probably would do as you say mate
