Was grabbing a dip stick from a 77 620 and that was sitting in the bad.
Really shit was crazy!!! There was probably 100 fucking wasps right in the end of this and the end of a few other pipes.. picked it up real fast and hit it against the truck and out A nest went! Full of wasps

Sooo yes flatcat you'll be getting your down pipe back once I get all this together. And this also allows Chris to get my old non ribbed header and put it on his 620 and not be using yours.. haha

Yeah standard..
I'm not really mad. I mean this is one guy that said he had used it.. not sure how it worked for him but I know it won't work for me soo.. I'll be doing exactly what sealik did.
Make sure I get a few z24 hg. I can pick them up for around 15 bucks. I need some tin snips and a new drill bit and a few boards the size of the gasket.
I'll you some wax paper in between the board.

I'm saying you talked to the one guy who would tell you anything to sell you anything he has. Its just further proof that I would never buy from him.

Is it fine being 1/8?
I mean I can make them bigger just nervous too haha the holes I have in the gasket now line up just right with the block. If it's fine then sweet. If you guys think I should jump up to 1/4 let me know.

I dont think they need to be enlargened. But I also may be thinking wrong. It is kinda a headache to enlargen the holes without say, a punch. So I would probably most likely leave it as is.

Thank you.. I will leave it I think, it's there and coolent can get past it. I'll enlarge the rear water port hole on the hg for the large non round hole on the block.

Yes. Grab this putter and clean it up!
I'm really starting to like that paint color.

The color jumped out at me as soon as I walked into the store. Painted a few things at home and then decide to paint the block. I like it.. perfect..
I'll be painting the valve cover the same. Alt mount Annnnd something else but I'm drawing a blank.

Oh also put the dipstick on the passenger side of the block. L20b tube a stick.. Looks like the l16 tube is the same size.
