Bert - what does the "rocker oiling" mod encompass on the ASP 160?
Lonnie - I have not forgot about you - Will give you a call and discuss the inserts as soon as I can. I have studied up the "indexed" insert idea and think I can make that cut being careful with the setup. Will need to 5/16-32 tap just to make a hole for sizing the external threads to get a "Snug Fit" and I think I can mimic the Timesert lock mechanism by "short tapping" the internal threads.
Can you confirm the bore is indeed 5/16-32 - a bit concerned if its home made it might just be 5/16-24
Do you have the ability to single-point cut the threads?
With a little bit of calculation, could make indexing reasonably accurate.
BTW, I can loan you 5/16-32 taps in both plug and bottom forms.
