installing case savers
 

Hi
I'm going to install case savers in my 7R mag case, i've had a look at it, it seems there isn'y many material in this area ?.
any advice (a machine shop is doing the job...)


thanks

The 7R has room but you probbly want to "have it done" cause w.o. a proper jig you can end up saving lots of $$ but looking like a porkypine with none of them lined up and they have to be right on.

Hi afterburner

i'm not doing the job, the machine shop will...
i wanted to be sure it's doable

thanks

to follow, there seem to be only 1mm of material on the cylinder side when the case savers are installed, is it enough?

It's tight, but in VW applications they sometimes have even less material around the stud boss or even have the case saver break into the spigot opening. You'll be better off with the case savers with less material between the case saver and the case spigot opening than you would be running the stud directly in the case. You might want to look into cryogenically treating your case- that will help significantly in preventing the studs from being pulled out.

there is more then enough room there,but you dont want to take it to a shop that has never done it b4

the shop i will bring it to is a engine specialist, i can do the job very well, i'm sure of that, may you confirm there is about 1 mm when installed ?
many thanks

I have no idea what your shop will be using....the proper ones are threaded on the out side and inside......there are some that will work but not as good-

the case savers are ordered from pelican parts, so i believe they will fit right ?

thanks

corect.......but your machine shop may want to supply these.....kind of like taking food to a resturant and having it cooked if you take them the stuff.......just a thought

don't really understand your opinion....

some shops get a little up tight if you bring in parts to install....they loose thir mark up.....when I have to do that (take them the parts I just tell them to chage a little more and be happy about it. Just a comunication thing

ok, you're right
but the guy is a friend of my best friend.....;)
