[DML] Re: Dye Tapping the timing Cover....Help :)

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Your 8mm tap should be fine if what you currently have is a stripped 
7mm hole.  Just make sure you take your time with it, and move it 
back and forth (dont put it in a drill) to allow the shavings to 
clear.
