Crank plugs



I think i was getting a little impatient with the tap. Last one too. Ahhh.
Great idea i have some tips for my dremel that came with it. I am pretty
sure one of em will be carbine. Does it just look like regular metal. Or
will i ahve to look for one? Awesome. Well i sat the crank in the block and
plastigauge it. Everything is with in limit so now i just need to tackle
this problem. thanks for the idea man!
