    Block cracked. Pics. Don't let this happen to you!

    The result of not throughly cleaning the threads with a chaser tap. Make sure you use a 7/16"-14 to clean the block every time you remove the heads! The buildup of rtv will give an inaccurate torque reading, and may strip the threads and/or crack the block like this: Got a new block...

    Last in my list of problems is this: A head bolt (lower) stripped the block's threads when approaching 80lbs TQ. When I went to re-torque it hot, it let go. So what I want to know is: 1) Should I use a helicoil? Or drill it out then just tap it? (I haven't done this before.) Can this be...

    Pics of my billet alt. bracket

    If you want to do this setup, use a 40" belt, and a standard rot. water pump. I really like the look of it, and the weight savings are nice too. :SNSign:

    Broke off intake bolt in aluminum head.

    It's one of the bolts in the center, where the intake bolts are the closest to eachother. I was missing a bolt last time I put it back on, so I got a bolt at the hardware store, that was a mistake 'cause it was a cheepo and snapped off in the head.:nonono: Question is, what's the best way to...
