Howdy guys,
So here is the time to start in on my 1980 hex head that will get the 2bbl conversion. I'm taking a machine shop class in school and the teacher said he'd help me as well as a pretty skilled guy in the class as well.
First thing i noticed when setting it up today on the mill was that the carb spot is not flat, its tilted slightly as well as the log. I knew that b/c the engine sits slightly back so that counters that. My question is, can i mill it parallel to the head gasket surface? If i mill it flat the angled way, its gonna be a lot harder to set and lose a lot more material on the lower side to try to keep it the same angle.
I've seen this discussed before on other forums but i just wanted to make sure. I don't think its super important but I'll let you experts tell me otherwise. I'll hopefully be back at it on Monday.
Thanks guys,
Ryan
