Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build

Before I painted the manifold, I needed to drill and tap for the EGT prob. I never did this before because I was too scared to do it on the engine for fear of metal crap getting inside and causing damage.
I started off with a partially sandbasted part. I did a lot of reading first then figured out where to hit the centre punch.



I bought one of this for the tool box awhile ago and finally had a good reason to use it. ( This is one of those great 70% off sale items that come up at Canadian Tire all the time ! )





Started off small and worked my way up.











Broke my Tap handle awhile back, but that didn't stop me.







Finished.





Temporary Plug for now.
