IF YOU CHASE threads, always rotate in reverse whilst pressing down gently on the tap. Once you feel/hear the click of the thread on the tap falling off the ramp of the thread on the part, then you can start going correctly with full confidence. Also, the rotation back should be the length of the spline inside the tap. That's because what you're doing is breaking the chip with the back of the cutters, letting the chips fall down through the splines. Every 5 forward rotations, in hardier metals, you should remove the tap completely and puff the chips out with some compressed air. Soft metals can deal with it, the harder the metal, the more chip evacuation you want because you'll be recutting those chips otherwise and make a huge mess of things.

[@bucksnortbumblefuk6872]

Same with plastics. When a screw threads into plastic. That way your not cutting new threads everytime eventually cutting away all the plastic.

[@GregoryVeizades]

You should also be using a thread chasing tap, not a cutting tap.

[@bucksnortbumblefuk6872]

@@GregoryVeizades we call them a sand tap at work. Not sure if that's correct terminology but it's what the machinists say

Make sure you put a fuse or circuit breaker before you run that through the cabin. You don't want that wire being the fuse, it will make for a really bad day.

Rob, you should take measurements (or a picture) of those custom or expensive gaskets. Then sketch it in a 3D modeling program. I use solidworks. Then you can have them laser cut from dead soft copper or from regular copper then you can anneal yourself. That's how I make mine.

[@Ezthereals]

Yes, you have to rinse that DOT fluid stuff off with water of anything you spill it on, shit is nasty acidic i even wear gloves with this stuff! See a lot of people spill it on their fresh powder coated brake calipers, it hurts seeing it.

[@brandonblair6868]

Yes, we want to see atleast one rotary car running Rob! Otherways we have to see you guys looking at 3 burnt to death doritos, we want to see them run on spicey e85, not only air!

[@gsmtiger14]

Music in Rob's videos will never cease to surprise me. I'm so used to silence and talking with bursts of giggling from him.

[@Tomyp89]

Rob, I've heard a story that someone's turbo has been damaged because he used exhaust cement on the manifold. Under load a chunk fell off and hit the turbine wheel causing an imbalance. Sometimes I use just a smear of anti seize on the gaskets and nothing more.

[@jordanfc8181]

The 3rotor is still my favorite car out of them all. ever since around... 5-6 years ago when i started watching or whenever whats his face broke the og hood to it...

[@markchip1]

I'm just praying that you remember to replace that one hose when you decide to go for E85!!!

[@_tob]

11:20 dropped RTV into the manifold 🤦‍♂️

Rob but a set of tapping sockets. They hold the tap so it floats makes them way easier to do and harder to break

I use 2/0 welding cable in all my car audio builds.....best wire for current transfer per cost by far

[@grant2410]

Interested to see what happens with e85 on non compatible lines... Next episode Rob rebuilds the 3 rotor again... The fuel line turned to goo

[@ldadol]

The larger gasket is the wide FD version. Your new skinny gaskets are Cosmo. They've always been 2 different widths. No cost-cutting update was made.

[@wedgoku]

Just a suggestion, would it be better to move the battery into a "NHRA approved battery box" in the trunk? it would use less welding wire since its located in the back & would provide better weight balance!

[@araybeezy1653]

I always use welding cable for my starting/charging circuits. great for amplifier installs and remote batteries

Gotta love the 4second edm montage

Get some Copper Spray a Gasket for reusing gaskets.

[@DeathCAPTsukinose]

I missed the 3 rotors the most, it's the OG of the channel, the 2 step is so aggressive as well as how it drives lol.

[@yamasubaruger]

Fuk yeah for Ultra copper. Also, a Primus T? I feel like I'm in the 90's/early 2000's again and I love that!

[@benistingray6097]

Smaller gaskets can work better dear Rob because they have a higher pressure per area. Same principle as Rally cars on snow, they have ultra skinny tyres because they get much more grip than wide tyres.

[@RyanGlenn810]

If you were rocking some monster subs that cable would make sense but I think it's over kill for what your doing and the distance the power has to travel.

[@fastcars1173]

Welding cable is great but I've seen it tarnish if it's not a good quality. I've been using Ancor marine wire for some years now, it's tinned and the strand count is high. Amazon has great pricing for it, it's not super cheap but is really good stuff.

[@fs360kickflip]

hell yeah 3 rotor

[@bradb69]

Liked before watched

[@baronvontourettes]

From the looks of the carbon buildup on the exhaust manifold it appears that the ports aren’t matched.

[@alxdgr8x]

Get some SGX cable, lots of strands and proper heat/oil protection vs welding cable.

[@Odd_Redneck]

11:50 just get the angle grinder gasket stripper from 3m bristle disk. Works like a charm

[@justar6865]

Yesss

[@JAKETSU99]

[@SilentGaming]

You probably already know this but brushed motors don't like being run in gunk so just make sure the gas is always clean for your pump to last longer

Rob, on the hot side of that turbo... e that metal gasket... i would think you might want to use the copper head gasket type of sealant... just a thought...

[@JamesLewis]

Be careful with the hoses that aren't approved for E85, I had some hose in a classic car that was less than 1 year old used with E10, that disintegrated and poured fuel over my engine, and perhaps it wouldn't do injectors any good either if it came apart on the inside...

[@floodo1]

Nice tap wrench LOL

[@DaveFromColorado]

I know that using leaded gas can help lubricate valve seats ... is there any other added bonus when using it in a rotary engine?

[@justinfranz1375]

Please put E85 safe hose on the feed line. The rubber hose will break down into small particles and clog the injectors leading to a dangerous lean condition, and I'd hate to see the 3 rotor go down again
