I remember reading an article in a magazine about underhood detailing, and I think it was by steve strope.
In it he mentioned tapping the holes so that fitting could be installe to sit nice and flush instead of them sticking out halfway.
My question is what kind of tap do you use? I know that theres one to start the thread, and one that finishes and bottoms out in the hole, and there are also thread chasers. Which do I use?
An example would be a pipe plug in your inatke or water pump, you'd tap the hole completely so that the plug would sit flush with the surface.
Thanks for your help guys!
