I have twin Ford Lehman 120 engines. Long story but I’m going to have to tap drill the injector oil sump drain plug opening because of a prior owner retrofitting an elbow with a peacock on the end to make for easy draining. I get why they wanted to because they are hard to reach and almost impossible to get something under there to catch the oil. To do this I’m going to take the JABSCO raw water pump loose to drop it down enough to get the tap in place to do its job. I’m probably going to need a new gasket at that point. Doubt it comes off looking like one I can resume.
We are doing the great Loop and are in a fairly remote area. I suspect I can source some material at an Auto ports store nearby. Any guidance on what I should get? I’m assuming they will have some and further assuming there are different choices?
Thanks in advance for thoughts and suggestions.
