Hi Folks,
I am prepping my block for setting the bead back on. I’m chasing all the head holes in the block with an old head bolt with a line cut into it. I’ve got no issues with all the holes, with the exception of the water jacket hole.
I’m getting major resistance when working to tighten down by hand to the point it doesn’t want to move. I measured from the deck to the bottom of the bolt top and I’m getting about 2.2 inches for all of them. The water jacket hole stops at 2.4 inches.
What gives? I don’t want to force anything and risk making a bigger problem for myself. What should I do in this situation?
Cheers,
Matthew
I’m trying to attach photos but it says the attachment quota has been reached.
