With a lead antimony anode of 1/4" diameter, the tank should be able to put on .001" to .0015" of chrome/ side.
I'm with Roger - serious stuff and serious precautions.QuoteWith a lead antimony anode of 1/4" diameter, the tank should be able to put on .001" to .0015" of chrome/ side.Ohh - I got that wrong previously - I thought that the anode touched the cylinder walls.Again thank you very much.
Hi JimThank you for your answer.Let me see if I got this info right. In the first example, you got 805-250 = 555 mill clearance and in the second, you got 1125-625 = 500 mill clearance between the anode and the cylinder wall. Does that mean the I should aim for some 500 mill (½") of clearance if (and when) I try to do some hard chroming ?Does that clearance apply to all sizes ? - I'm asking because I might be tempted to do a bigger engine if I got success with the small size (though admittedly not in the near future - I need to start on the small engines first, but one can dream) ....Best wishesPer
