vent liner question

[lonewolf5347]

I have a question on vent liners,I had some time to kill and was wondering what would happen if the hole in the vent liners were to large.
I have used the new improved vent liners by t/c ,that use allen key
I do have a couple of the older liners that need a slot screwdriver to install them.
O.K.here my question I redrill the inner side of the cone with a 3/32 bit, but did not go all the way threw.
I also redrill the outside (coned it ) to 9/64
Will this work or should I just redrilled with a 1/64 bit straight threw the vent liner :no:

I'm no authority on this, and it's not clear to me which drilling operations you've already done, which are pending, etc...so because I'm not sure of the current state of the liner, I'm reluctant to answer.

Also, in your closing comment, did you mean to say 5/64" instead of 1/64" ?

Did the same thing with my Lancaster; had a vent liner in it and too many flashes in the pan. Drilled it just a tiny bit more and no more problems. Now, when I change liners on any of my flinters I open them up just a tad. Can't recall the size of the bit, but I keep it hanging on my workbench with a piece of tape, used only for vent liners. (box of bits, found one the same size as the original hole, moved up one size, maybe 5/64? :m2c:
