Last week, Davin walked through the basics of cutting new threads in stock materials. That is all but necessary for fabricating new parts and pieces for a project, but what about threaded holes that already exist in parts you need to salvage? Then it’s time to talk about chasing threads, and while it’s a simple process there are a few tips Davin thinks are important to keep in mind.

DIY with very specific, purpose built tools… right.
I should get myself such thread file
Along with some wd-40 and brake cleaner helps with this process too
rebuilding my first engine soon, had this video in my recommendations. im gonna look for a set of these thread chasers now. good to know about this
What brand chaser set would you recommend snap on matco napa what would you recommend which one is best bank for your buck and which is the best?
This is a very important part of a quality restoration, but it's also great to do as part of routine service. Any time I unbolt an engine accessory or manifold etc. off my aluminum engine, I make sure to thoroughly clean out the blind holes. I start with brake clean, then a plastic bore brush. Haven't had to use chasers yet but it's the same principle — keep them holes clean and trim!
when you go FLAT RATE no one pay you to do that stuff :))
I didn't knew those thread file existed. I'm gonna have to get a kit of those, I used to repair threads with a small piece of sand paper one by one.
Пфф, щётка, метчик, плашка и бенз. Нормальные люди всегда чистят резьбу.
