So I had a couple more minutes the other day to work on the head again.
But I'm shocked that no one noticed I screwed up. I didn't want to say anything until I could get it fixed. Take a look at this pick and look in the bolt holes. Do you see any threads lol
So I was going to take it all off again and send it around the corner to United Welding but I didn't want to spend more money and I knew how to fix this easy peasy lol
I created my own Helicoli
I used some SS MIG Welding wire and cut about 3/4 of an inch in length. I left the good side bolted tight and dropped it in the hole. I put the bolt in and put some muscle into a downward force as I tightened the bolt in.
Well it worked and I doubt I will ever have a problem with it again.
Needless to say the Intake cam is in and all I need to do is get my timing tools and find my cam bolts that I miss placed during the move into my new apartment.... Not happy. Maybe Jamie can give me back the stock cams so I can take those bolts...
That's it for now
