Hello All,
Well as you have all known I have been jumping through hoops trying to get this block back together. Now I have another issue, after breaking a chasing tap in the last cylinder head hole, and after breaking head bolts, I finally got my ARP studs in and WOW another one. After torquing down the studs per ARP instructions to 125 ft lbs. I observed a crack on the outside of the block on the trouble hole. The hole that has given me problems up until now, except for the broken cylinder head bolt, that was in another hole. I hope brazing by a qualified welding shop can fix this mess. I already have the heads and intake bolted down. Much advise is appreciated. Guys and Professionals please give me your input.
