Cam advice for more torque from 340

AJ/FormS said

There is a hole in the front of the block, on the drivers side, where the timing cover bolts on. This hole goes into the water jacket. It is possible to put too long a bolt in there during the cover install, and it is possible to drive that bolt right through the cylinder wall. This will allow water into the oilpan and really spoil your day when you find out.
BE CAREFUL!

Good to know. I used all the original bolts so I should be good. However, I will pull all the lower ones and place some thread seal on them. I didn't know hey went into the jacket.

I have the timing cover, water pump and oil pan on. I just hope nothing leaks.

Right now I'm working on assembling the rockers on my heads. The machine shop took them off when they were cleaning and checking everything out.
