And so it starts... 340 build
And another handy tip for you novice engine builders.
This is a “sacrificial” 6 inch 3/8 drive extension. It is a good fit for the plugs at the front of the block. A little more Indian head gasket and drive them in a bit. They should be counter sunk.
There is also a trick mod to be done here later. A small drill hole on the driver side plug to spray some oil onto the timing chain for that little extra oil insurance that can only help during high rpm runs. A drilled a 3/32 hole in the plug. I think that was a bit big when I was done. Installed now. Coffee break.... LOL
(Not that this engine will, maybe, I think. OH! I don’t know....)
