Anyone know where to source those? I just had a head rebuilt and they had to cut the coolant fitting out.

Anyone know where to source those? I just had a head rebuilt and they had to cut the coolant fitting out.
I remember getting one online or home Depot. I think it's like 3/4 pipe thread or something? I have a few heads in the pile. Might be able to pull one out for ya.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate it. The machine shop had a hell of a time getting this one out, due to dissimilar metal corrosion.
Yup, 3/4" NPT. If you need to find tap to repair threads, you can usually find good used sharp taps cheap on EBay. Very common size. Many times the cylinder heads aren't tapped very deep, and could use a little tweaking when rebuilding.
I was warned when I picked it up, my machinist used to do these heads all the time. He recommended using a stronger thread locker, since the lands are so shallow.Quote:

The one in the bottom of the waterbox? I have some spares.
I think the nipple has to be 5/8 though?Quote:

A couple years ago when I came across this issue and needed one asap. Mcmaster carr had one the next day delivered their part number 5346K91 for a two pack.
I'm using an AN fitting from Jegs which is 3/4" NPT to -10AN. I then use a 90* AN fitting off of that and have a -10AN to 5/8" hose barb adapter at the end for the firewall.
Went that route, picked up some fittings from Jegs. Cheaper than I thought.
