Thanks, Eric. Do you know if those shaft bearings need to be pulled (if =
they even come out)? The shaft isn't gorgeous after you grind the bolt =
holes to get the shaft out, but it's not an abomination either (at least =
not to me). Are we going with mother's on the protective coating? =
Wonder how durable/heat resistant it is? One more question (for now ; ) =
) - what do the bearings, shaft get lubed with? Anything?
Thanks ahead of time.
Tate

In a message dated 98-07-11 03:15:05 EDT, you write:
<< The bore in the intake is exactly 2 1/16 inch. The bore in the =
bottom of
the tb is a few thousandths under 2 1/16. That's the way we want to =
keep it.
We want to be sure that the throttle body bore is NO LARGER THAN the =
intake
bore.=20
Otherwise turbulence will occur.
=20
3. Try your best to trim away he excess in the inside of the gasket. =
Some
places it protruded more than a mm into the bore. We just want it =
to
match the surface, I think. No protruding, no recess.
=20
=20
Anyway, that's my two cents......

Good Call Tate. Excellent observations.
