Funny thing happened, I took a little time and trimmed out the port opening on some .060 thick gaskets and plopped Frankenstein back on it, the port floors still looked just fine.
Well that’s pretty handy, nice!
Is that material from remflex?
yessir, their graphite gasket sheet
I should mention they're gaskets from Hughes. I like the gaskets and they're nice quality but they're extremely fragile and is why I deem it necessary to make some out of aluminum and I'll either copper coat them or just ultra grey them in place
Didn't know they had that. Thanks
How is this plan going together.
It's going to go together fine. Just going to be a little more time and money but also it's the only way in going to be able to have the coolant circulate.
While I don’t have hard block in mine, this idea intrigues me!
Its a good plan for ring seal, strengthen the sumbish. I drilled and staked the main caps also.
You did, I laughed.
Ah, my bad man. Was intrigued by Timmy's external cooling thingy, my pile doesn't make enough poop to need the block filled.
Well it was a 2 man plan, I had a plan to drill the side of the back in 3 spots so I could get a masonry bit between the cylinders so the water would circulation and plug it. Tim told me I was completely screwed because water inlet was mostly plugged so he said put some 1/4 by -8 an 90° fittings in, tie them together with hose and an run the inlet off the side behind the water pump housing... well it sounded good to me and that's what's going to happen. I drilled 4, 7/16 holes where I wanted them and now it's dark.
Precise Holes, fittings & hoses. Water in though the side of the block.
Right on, I had just never thought or external block cooling lines and curious to see how it plays out. Looking forward to see the results and pics!
Yes sir, hopefully really soon.
Good deal Buddy!
