Head Bolt Tap / Thread Chaser? M11 x 2.0 is the head bolt thread spec.
Looks like the only actual chaser i could find is made by ARP and costs $50.
Wanted to just buy a tap/chaser and do it 100% the right way, but i dont feel like paying $50 for somethin i may only use once.
As far as cutting an old head bolt, i would imagine you have to clean up the edges of the threads after they get milled with a small hand file so a jagged edge dosent destroy the tapped hole in the block. is this correct?
Thanks
