    PORT AND RUNNER MATH

    read this, BUT keep in mind it does little good to have killer head flow numbers if the intake manifold flows less or if the exhaust is restricting flow, and heads that flow killer numbers at .700 lift, and are designed to feed a 427 displacement at 7500rpm, DON,T do you much good if the CAM you...

    DIPSTICK TUBE SNAPPED OFF AT BLOCK

    while an eze-out screw extractor may work its designed to bite into and expand as it tightens , not always a good idea on a flimsy tube, the bottoming tap was suggested because it cuts almost full dia threads and youll rarely need to go more than 1.5 times its dia. to get a decent grip on the...

    DIPSTICK TUBE SNAPPED OFF AT BLOCK

    if its not stuck badly screw a threading tap into it and pull it clear with vise grips something in the 1/4"-5/16" should fit, just try to use the smallest size that gets a grip, if you get aggressive and use too large a tap the tube gets expanded, and yeah before someone else points it...

I was assembling a 496 BBC...
