[QUOTE="cutting torch, post: 2337, member: 134"] The tank still needs to go down about 1/2 to 3/4 inch, and it is sitting on the head right now. It was much worse with the headstay there. I might still need a shorty plug, too. [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/torch3/IMG_0677-1.jpg[/img] I got the tank done. At least I hope so, since I don't know what else will get in the way. I used a heat gun to get it to about 250 degrees, then used my drill press as an arbor press with a bungee cord to hold it. The thing between the drill press and the tank is the ball from a 2 1/2 inch valve.
