wrap tap around the tap until it lays parallel to the gas tube in the angle, before tapping.

"tap" should be "tape."

Thanks for the clarification. However, I am still trying to understand how this will help the parallelism. Maybe I need more taps?

I'll show myself out now.

Good evening all.

Been lurking for a while, so my first comment is - Frosty and Mikey, I already have. =D

Reading AFB's and DRottBlatt's discussion on the trumpet/bell reminded me of some older YouTube videos put out by a turbine engine repair mechanic. He explains why they install a bell mouth on the static test stand.
