★ Indispensable tool for correct fitting of cylinder head bolts. The long version reaches the full depth of the threaded holes in the cylinder block.
Application
Used during overhaul of the T214 230ci six-cylinder engine as fitted to Dodge WC-series (1941-1945) and M37-series (1951-1968) trucks. The tap cleans or repairs the threads in the cylinder block before new cylinder head bolts or studs are fitted.
Installation notes
Use with cutting fluid or light oil. Turn the tap by hand into the thread and work gradually — do not screw in completely in one go to prevent seizure. Clean the threaded holes thoroughly after use (compressed air, carb cleaner) to remove metal swarf. For studs: ensure the complete thread length can be used for optimal clamping force.
Compatibility
Specific for cylinder head threads of Dodge WC-series and M37-series engines. Not suitable for Willys L-134 or GMC CCKW engines — these have different thread sizes. Always verify thread size (pitch and diameter) before using the tap.
Historical context
During WWII and the post-war period, cylinder head overhauls were a standard maintenance procedure for military vehicles. Correct preparation of the threads was critical for reliable engines in the field.
