12/2 Gib key will not budge

<< < (5/5)

32 coupe:
I painted the inside of my crankcase when I got done.
I was warned the oil would seep through the crankcase.

I used white rustolium (?) and it has held up fine through the years.
It takes a while to dry but I was in no hurry and it was months before I reassembled it.
The white makes it easy to see inside.

''I had a stuck gib-key.  Nothing would move it.  So, I wound up machining a jig that fit perfectly into the key-way. Then, I spotted and drilled a "pilot hole" in the jig, that would keep the drill bit perfectly centered in the jig, ergo also the key.  A long drill bit of ~ 3/8 inch (I really don't remember) drilled it out.  I saved that jig in the Listeroid "fix-it" box, just in case I needed it again.''

That is a great tip.. In fact I was almost going to do something like that for one of the flywheels.
