    Clamp the C-clamp in the vise. That should stop all the clamp movement as you turn the clamp screw. Also, if I were using the bolt method I'd use a fine thread bolt.

    In your town, locate a "fastener store". Buy your hardware there...not Home Depot. Fastener stores can get exactly what you need in correct thread pitch, shoulder length, hardness grade, etc. Additionally, they are usually less expensive and you can buy "just one" when you need just one - instead of a package. Also, a professional will take care of you.

    While I'm not 100% certain, I believe that T45 is also the correct Torx bit for the plug in the 3.0 liter engines, including the SQ5 turbo engine. I took my SQ5 to a nearby Mr. Tire a few days ago, thinking that they would be able to do the oil change using the Mobil 1 ESP x2 oil that I brought (bought at Walmart in 5-qt containers). They repeatedly assured me that they could do this, that they work on Audi vehicles "all the time", etc., etc. The idiot they let do this simple, or try to do it, tried to remove the drain plug using an Allen wrench and a ratchet that was at least two feet long. He ruined the head of the plug so now in addition to needing an oil change I need to figure out how to remove the plug. I'm probably going to extract it from the top so that I can remove the pan, and then remove the plug with the pan off. Sigh.

    I have a couple of those in my yard. Every fall, before the first frost, I shut off the water supply to them. Then, I blow compressed air into a hose bib that is upstream of the backflow preventer, and I alternatively open and close various relief valves in the preventer to allow the compressed air to push out the water. I used to use my A/C shop compressor, which weighs over 50 pounds. Carrying that thing around is a huge pain, and it's inconvenient to run extension cords to it. Then I bought a Makita 18V LXT cordless blower. It's the shape and size of a hairdryer. It weighs about 2 pounds, and the Makita batteries weigh less than a pound. That thing is super powerful. They also make a 48V XGT model that probably gives you more psi of blowing force, but the LXT is sufficient for my needs. I use it for other applications as well, but it's especially convenient for blowing out pipes. You just press the nozzle against the mouth of an open hose bib, squeeze the trigger, and watch water shooting out of the other end of your pipes where you opened a valve. With the backflow preventer, I first blow air into my hose bib, then I switch and blow air into the relieve valves on the backflow to force air in the opposite direction. The 18V makita blower will not blow enough air to damage plumbing, but it'll blow enough air to push most of the water out of your pipes and vaporize enough of the standing water remains to prevent your pipes from freezing.

    The space between the gasket and the tabs (or "feet") underneath the thermo-quale base are adjustable. The cap should be installed with the tabs loosened and after positioning the cap properly, they are tightened down in place using an appropriately sized hex wrench. This prevents the entire cap from moving when the quale is opened up and eliminates the gasket thickness issue as well.

Ultimately the head cracked and my Dad passed away. So I have a Model A I've gotta get the head off of. I've been putting it off because I just don't have any experience on that old stuff. I've worked on some flatheads but my concern was binding the studs on the four banger.
