Apparently a machine shop is supposed to install them :hmm:

F-that, cut some slots with a die grinder in those threads and grab your 1/2 impact and run em home! Self tappers:spit:

Seriously though, I think Scott made them fairly easy to install. Your a talented dude:thumb:

Who's this Scott feller? I found industrials YouTube video on how to install but it requires a machine shop which I'm not scared to do, but if I can do it myself I'd rather go that route

It'll be worth it though. I'm looking forward to seeing how this runs. With building my house right now i don't have the cash to put into my truck. I have to live thru other people's build threads.

Well, this "build" just escaladed-ed....:roflmao: I dont think Corbin will have any trouble installing those.

Self-tapping screw-in cups is actually a fantastic idea. But boy, keeping those buggers square as you start would be interesting.

Got ahold of my machine shop today.. Going to take the heads off and take up to them soon as i have time. They can tap the head for the screw in cups so that saves me some looking.



On another note.... Hoping to start my Carrillo search here very soon.. So if anyone reading this has a set they want to part with let me know.

Stuck a junk lb7 block and heads in the truck tonight.. Kinda weird to see an engine in the bay.

Sorry it looks so dark, the phone camera was having a hard time adjusting since my garage lights are so bright..

I got some parts from Rick in the mail today, expecting a bunch more parts this week.. More to come
