Prepping Irons for Pineapple Racing
I've got a set of 12A Irons that I will be sending to PR soon to get lapped and streetported, and I'm cleaning them up. Is the oil filler neck a press fit? Should it be too much trouble to remove the water pump housing studs (since they probably have been in their since the motor was manufactured)? The metal tube that sticks out of the rear housing for coolant - is it a press fit?

the water pump studs aren't too bad to break loose, just use two nuts on there, one to hold still while the other one breaks the stud loose. Or you can do it the right way and get a stud remover.
