Got Jig today, questions?

[wrichards]

Thanks to CPFF and the northeast group for getting me #16 so quickly. I plan on doing the job on monday threee oclock after I get off work. I am only slightly confident I will be able to do the job so here are some questions. I will move it on to the next person asap.



I don't have a regulator on my compressor. I had one but I don't think it was fine enough to get 1-2 psi as instructions indicate you need. Where and how can I get one, I live in a remote area mostly mail order few parts stores.



Second, How does the air pressure work. From what I can gather it seems like the pressure blasts out the chips once you break through is that right and can 1 psi do that without letting chips fall back in??



Any other helpful hints would be appreciated. I know that this has been discussed here hundreds of times but I can't access that due to server crash.

Where are you? I have a reg set-up I can send you ... works great ..... PM me ...

When you drill the hole, the air pressure will force most of the metal filings out, but you will most likely need to use a small screw driver or something to reach in the jig hole to move them around enough so the air pressure will force them out. Also I like to fill the drill bit with grease before drilling,tapping and counter sinking as well. As far as the air pressure is concerned, jut don't apply too much! When you hook up the air line, turn your regulator on the compressor down till there is very little air coming from the end of the hose. Then take you oil fill cap loose to see if you are getting much pressure buildup. You don't want alot of pressure building up in the engine.



The fix is excellant, and the tools and instructions are the very best!

Thanks for the reply, would a shop vac help get the filings out? Maybe I am to concerned about the filings sine a KDP failure coudl cause much more damage.

wrichards, I was just as concerned as you were, but it takes very very little air to do the trick 1. 5psi maybe. I got my dad to sit under the truck with the regulater, and hold it in the blow-by tube, while I did the countersinking, tapping and drilling. Didn't take me 3 minutes to do these procedures. All came out well, the kit is almost fail proof. PM for questions man.

These are notes I made after using the jig

Jay’sNotes





Paragraph 1 A small shot of WD40 goes along way to getting the fan hub nut loose. Then tap the wrench with a hammer, clockwise as you face it, and, eventually, it will come loose.





Paragraph 2 If you have a thin 10mm combination wrench, removing the six bolts on the fan pulley are unnecessary. Fit the wrench to the bottom right bolt and go for it. Then use a socket on the other three.



Paragraph 3 The drill jig mounting holes are slotted. Mount the jig pushed to the right so the bolts occupy the leftmost space in the slots. This will help when it is time to countersink the hole.

We don’t have a regulator. So after placing the fitting in the breather hose, I took the dipstick out and loosened the oil filler cap and had my son cycle the compressor on and off (with no pressure in the tank) while I drilled. Worked well, just enough pressure to blow the chips out.





Have Fun!!!

With the NW jigs we don't use a regulator, just a valve to feather the air. but that isn't even necessary. The trick is to connect your airhose to the dipstick tube via a 3/8" id hose, just slip it over. Do not block the blowby tube, any excess pressure will escape though it. Check that you have enough pressure by unscrewing the oil fill cap, enough to lift the cap an inch is plenty. There is no need to use grease or a screwdriver in the hole. Of the two jig fixes that the pin was out enough to stop the bit from penetrating all the way we still completed the entire countersinking and threading procedures but had to remove the cover to pound the pin back in. There were absolutely no chips inside the case. Find the complete directions on how we use the NW jig in the How to get a KDP jig thread, they differ from CPFF's and have been proven over 100 times.

Thanks for the advice, I can't wai to get it done I will repost with results.

Do the deed with confidence I have three under my belt and they are very straight forward take your time and use common sense its a snap awesome tooling for sure I would not be to concerned over chips its aluminum your drilling anyway just a little air and you will have no trouble at all. for me the hardest part was getting the belt back in the right places. good luck .
