| - | * Roll Form Taps- used to pressure form threads in softer material like aluminum. \\ Roll form taps are used to "restore" damaged threads. \\ They work well because they will actually push the metal back to shape as opposed to cutting it away. \\ **Word of caution**: they use a lot of force and are way easier to break so don't get to western with them. \\ Use plenty of oil and steady pressure. \\ Turn in 2 or 3 turns, back off 1 or 2 turns to allow the pressure to come off and if you are using a cut tap the cut material needs to come out. \\ Another word of caution, when you buy taps and dies, sometimes you get what you pay for.

| * While chasing the bolts / holes you will experience metal shavings coming out of the holes and down the bolts. \\ This is normal and how much depends how much damage has been applied to them. \\ You are in fact re-shaping these to back to their original shape. \\ There really isn't much reason to replace a bolt other than cosmetics or rot unless it cannot be re-threaded or has been overly torque stressed. \\ This is a condition in which, on the way to final torque, the bolt begins to stretch or twist from it's protruding center. \\ (but not threading any longer into the hole as Evo cylinder head bolts can do) ((hippysmack from the XLFORUM)) | * While chasing the bolts / holes you will experience metal shavings coming out of the holes and down the bolts. \\ This is normal and how much depends how much damage has been applied to them. \\ You are in fact re-shaping these to back to their original shape. \\ There really isn't much reason to replace a bolt other than cosmetics or rot unless it cannot be re-threaded or has been overly torque stressed. \\ This is a condition in which, on the way to final torque, the bolt begins to stretch or twist from it's protruding center. \\ (but not threading any longer into the hole as Evo cylinder head bolts can do) ((hippysmack from the XLFORUM)) | ||
