The sprue cutter needs to be in the base of the mold making a 1/4 inch long sprue. Not on top of the mold. The 5/8 inch sprue is hard to remove.

Dan - you rebuilt an engine for our 25 coupe, sent to you by Gator. Wow - it runs like a scalded cat - took it to Indiana covered bridge tour, then to the Texas T Party - folks thought we had a Ruckstell in it as we breezed up the hills. Thanks for such a professional job !
