I’m sure they would work, but may cause more of a mess than what its worth. As a machinist, I have saved most of the silica packs I’ve came actoss. I throw them in the back of my box drawers.
Looking for std size bearings for an 8ba. Also copper or a good gasket set for 3.25” bore. And studs etc... speedway and van pelts seems to have what I’m after, but are there any vendors here that supply and tend to these engines specifically. Just thiught I’de ask before I spend money...
