Roz Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Damn you bought the tap :thumbup: ...me and another member were thinking that way, but just cut and welded. DON'T buy the tap(Unless you wan't to buy mine) :angel: . If I'd have been smart enough to take the cartridges out and look before I bought it, I'd have seen that the ID of the strut tube gets smaller below the threads. Therefore the tap won't work unless the inside was machined out to a diameter that is pretty similar to where the threads are. Unless you are a machinist, the tap won't do any good, but then you could probably cut the threads without the tap, too. At least I got to clean up the threads Quote Link to comment

Roz Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sooo, it started for the first time. WOOOHOOO! It is the first engine I have ever assembled. Not charging, but that's pretty minor. I had a hell of a time bleeding the clutch after I replaced both the master and slave cylinders. My friend who is a tech at a Dodge dealership suggested letting the slave hang down and pushing the rod in by hand a few times to push the air out the top. It now works great. Quote Link to comment
Roz Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Interesting, I got my new ignition switch/ steering lock (Ebay/Thailand) yesterday, and put it on today, and all of a sudden it charges fine. Merry Christmas woohooo. Quote Link to comment

The ignition switch and the light in the dash are parts of the stock charging circuit. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Roz Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Actually, I needed usable travel. With the zx struts where I'm sitting now, I had about an inch before I bottomed out on the bump stop. Now, I should be able to hit a bump at the autocross without skidding off the corner.
