[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 130778, member: 597"] I had 2 sets of new cases from that knuckle head Harry Cowley an ex pom living in Germany now who makes new cases and other parts that are total crap........ I have no problem shooting him down as the guy is a total crook and deserves to be shot at best........anyway after much re-machining of many defects on his cases, about 55 plus on the timing side alone.......The last straw was the threads for the cylinder hold down studs were all crooked...........when you wound the studs in they were all out by about 4 or 5 mm at the top and all pointing inward.........To fix this we had to screw in a full set of studs, cut them off level with the case deck, then re-center the lot and drill/tap the steel inserts to 7/16" UNF then we had to make new studs with the same matching threads to suit.......... Vic I just hope your inserts are strong enough........Cheers........ Greg. [/QUOTE]
