I have a question regarding the "cromwell method" of valve seat retention:
according to two different sources, I am supposed to finish drilling 1/4
inch deep with a 9/64 drill, then tap with a 5/32 bottom tap, then insert a
5/32 set screw. After searching for hours, my question: is there such a
thing as a 5/32 tap OR fastener? The only things I have found smaller than
1/4-20 are 8-32, 10-32, 4-40, etc. Am I missing something obvious, or is
this information incorrect? Where can I find this stuff? This is driving
me nuts! (short drive, btw)
Thanks,
Tom Willcox
