@Adios571 As you seen with Johns drill when the tap bottoms out or binds it will slip in the chuck, Even if the tap had flats machined on it it would spin the drill in your hand before breaking it. Take it from me, a Machinist who power taps new/existing holes every week when you are doing engine parts or anything no one is going to pay your time to hand chase them all and I mean why make more work for yourself.
Thank you for this video. the only thing that concerns me is using power tools to tap the threads. I am no fitter or turner as they are called but worked as a labourer assisting fitters as a student back in the 70's. I will get out my old Tap and dies and do it by hand before I send the block and head to the machinist.
Thank you again for these really great and informative videos.
Those con rod bolts look like they were reused and torqued down without a torque wrench. I know they sell product but ARP says to replace the con rod bolts with new ones and torque to a measured strech, not torque setting. ARP supplies the correct measurements to do this. Of course, millions of rod bolts have been torqued for years with no problems but for those that want to go the extra mile... :)
