HLS Cylinder test

[Jughead]

did find one pit in the intake port of the 260 cylinder thats more than likely going to cause a problem.theres also a pit on the outside in the same location.

Do you think the pit goes all the way through? Funny thing about these cheap kits is I've seen tons of them installed without inspection. Every one is still running. Saw some heavy casting flash and plating pits but no failures. Im sure @Gentleman is looking at this from a similar position. They are not perfect but most all are usable and functional.

Not sure smokey.I'llc apply a drop of oil tonight and see if it bleeds through to the intake tract.if it doesn't i'll do a leak down test after assembly and see.

Good point. Some customers will pay for quality but many just want cheap price. We don't get many of those cheap cylinders coming back. It's good for a cheap fix. Not sure about the performance.

Good thing no cigarettes or coffee to slow the healing

no longer testing the ms 260 cylinder.just way too much sand embedded into the casting.so much infact that the threads for the decomp where nothing more than sand.after a few hours in the usc and brushing with a wire brush then flushing the threads still stripped out.
next up ms360

Drill it out and tap for dual plugs.

yeah guess i could tap it out.if i can just find those taps i bought a while back.

 

[drf256]

Really sucks Juggy.

I'd be glad to goober that hole up with aluminum for ya, but shipping both ways will cost more than the jug is worth.

I plan on hitting my jug soon. I better chase all the threads before I do anything else.

Come join the can't get r done club. Just sucks...

 

[dbittle]

If it was mine I would see if I could drill it to a NPT diameter and install a pipe plug slathered in epoxy.

 

[mdavlee]

I'd drill and tap bigger.
