    Ok I was thinking the red scotch brite might be good. I do still have a ball hone, but last time I did that to my caravan engine, the pistons were removed. I'll save that as a last resort.
    Thanks!...

    Re: 89 Turbo Van Bad HEP?

    well crimping is certainly easier. I would have thought soldering would be better because it won't loosen up....but I'll pick up some of the heat shrink crimp connectors and go to town :)
