LA small block,Do you put an oil passage in your head stud?

After reading every single post in this thread, I am quite confused. In post #1 you say your son does it, post #28 you say yall do "every studded" smallblock you build, and then in post #43 you said yall didnt come up with the idea, I guess some guy named dave did. And you sorta seem all upset that the majority of responses have been along the lines of "its unnecessary" and now your angry. I mean, you started a poll, and when it didn't match your own opinions, that you ASKED for, you tell people to keep it to themselves. You come off as a angry, frustrated guy looking for attention.


My son owns an engine shop now at age 37 . around 17 years ago we had our engines built at other shops. HTA- Dave and Ray Barton Racing- Ray and Dave. They are who I refer to that did our work .

We have our 428 and 416 engines a long time. Way before we had a our machine shop. My son now does all studs used on the LA engines in his machine shop on our property this way. This idea was thought of by several of us years ago. I'm am sorry if I confused your "brain" I just thought you and many would have known my son was very young when we first built this car . But he had input on the original build once I gave it to him at 16 yrs old.

I am not upset at all. Seems like you are the one that is having a brain fart. Because you have to constantly doubt everything you know nothing about. Instead of asking for an understanding of who is who, You just take things out of context and assume things.

Now that I had to explain to you who the Dave's and Ray are .Is your brain gaining any knowledge. And when I stated somewhere above that those with different methods that work . I would like them to post them. I am sure many do different things

This is what "we" do. and it is what works the best for my son for liability with the fix for this issue. Really! if you want to Chisel a grove in your head or your stud. Or run it without any oil at all that is your business. Don't confuse your self with things you don't agree with or understand. Friendly input deserves a respectful answer. Input like yours is just someone looking to swell their head. My Dad always said . If they can't Dazzle you with brilliance they'll baffle you with bullshit . He must have been referring to you.
I don't get angry. I just laugh at people like you.

Now write another story about who I am. I have nothing better to do but write a reply. And I love it.

Here is a picture of him at 17 and the car. and as it progressed in 20 years .
