Back In The Shop......Now What's On Your Bench????

I am thinking of using some type of gas tank sealant. I have tried to separate the tank halves, it's not happening.

Oh yeah........

It can happen. You gotta use heat.

Or a bigger hammer

I thought the D cylinders were only on early 046s. If they were on some early 460s, does that mean all 046s were Ds, or did they go back an forth.

I'm Confused!

 

[Mastermind]

I've seen them on both.

 

[Macman125]

Not likely to use a hammer. I saw a gas tank on the bay and they want $250 for it... Pure ridiculousness.

 

[Macman125]

I can't even get the screws to break loose.

This May or May Not Have been Muh Fault! [emoji41][emoji41]

Drill off the heads, heat the halves, pull it apart. Use vice grips to get the screw shanks out, reseal everything, use new screws and reassemble.

It is possible that I'm tripping today too. I've been in so many saws that I can't remember everything I've seen. JJ would be able to tell us with some certainty.

 

[Macman125]

How much heat? I am afraid of messing it up. What do I use to seal it back up once I have it apart?

 

[Mastermind]

We use a heat gun.......and try not to mess up the paint. Heat it from the sides that don't show. You might find that after all the screw heads are cut off that you can get it apart without heat. I did a thread on this using a Homelite 360 several years ago.

 

[Macman125]

I thank you a lot for the advice. I shall try the heat gun tactic. What about a sealant!

 

[Mastermind]

Oh.

We use Yamabond, Hondabond, Titebond, etc.

What tank? I had a tank I think was never suppose to be separated, a dolmar 166. But it was leaking bar oil into the alky/nitro fuel $30 a gal and ruining it. So I took my best redneck shot. Used sealer for a gasket. Sealed with Threebond 1194 sealer and never had another problem.
I also use it for all my poulan crankcases that use sealer instead of a gasket.

I'm gettin a different kind of hybrid!

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

If your hybrid saw dont have a 66mm 090 top on a stroked 3120 crankcase. Yours might be considered a Prius Hybrid.
