What is my best option for dealing with these blow holes in the casting.

I'll end up under size if I carry on cutting.

Thanks for any help.

Ream both parts assembled together. If more than one pin is needed on one shaft they should both be reamed from the same side.

Thanks for this.

I'm the same never used a taper reamer before, so I'd like to know as well Rob. I'll be going through cast/steel/cast, think I'll have a trial run on steel first

Thanks for the info/help

Changing the 3/32" pin's that hold the crank on the shaft of a Stuart twin Victoria , just so they are a lot easier to remove.

Looks like 1/8" pin and reamer will be the one to go with, taper pin needs to cover 3/4" depth, going with a 1" pin OK?

Hi,

First post so hello to all.

I have a 3/32" pin I need to change to a tapered pin, not sure what size I need.?.

Will a 7/64" do or do I need to go to 1/8" size for pin and reamer.

Thanks for any info.
