Any one know if I have to tap them and some set screws?? OR what is the best method to plug the Air Holes. Thanks Jeff Faster Horses, Younger Women, Older Wiskey, More Money --- Tom T

I have plugged them before by removing the air pulse tube, cutting it off close to the head (bout 1/2 inch) then epoxying a copper pipe cap on the end. Then simply bolt the 'homemade cap' back on.

Any parts house will stock it. Just mix an equal amt from each tube thoroughly until it is grey, clean the holes with a shot of starting fluid & plug them up, let it set up in a warm garage. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
