I found that a 5/16 drill bit is too big and the one smaller 19/64 was fine. Of course there is only room to use a drill bit on a couple of them. So I made my reamer from a steel rod that diameter (19/64")about 4 inches long, bent it 90*in the middle and ground a few flutes cut in the sides for and inch or so with a dremel cut off wheel. It worked perfectly. (why I didn't just heat a 19/64s" drill bit in the middle and bend it, ?? I'm not sure)
My PGs had tested good, but 4 out of 5 were a bit hard to get out they were so clogged with carbon and I think all 5 were shorting out. I haven't started it yet as I'm rechecking cam chain stretch and valve settings.... but got interrupted with a pile of paying type work.... Reality rearing it's head
, maybe tonight.
