Thanks for the offer Durgam. I'll stick to a tap and bag of bolts for now.

If you are able to do more at a later date, I'd ask Eric (Zookie) to move this and make it a sticky in the Suppliers section.

Here's a pic of my cylinder head on the CMM (Cooridinate Measurement Machine). Picking up hole locations.

Nice work Kris

thats a tool you might not need very often but it sure will come in handy when you do need one .

Wow, nice work, Kris. If I didn't already have one, I'd order one of yours. They are definitely effective on our stubborn old girls.

Kris , have you tried your plate on your block yet ?

It lines up great, but im short on pusher bolts. Actually im using set screws, and I bought the last few that the local hardware had. That cylinder is coming off tonight though.

Kris,

You should have money and label.

Guys......
I screwed up.
My bolts on the outer holes dont go all the way thru. The plate flexed a little, just enough to not cut the very last thread. Im very sorry. It should be on just the outer 4 or 5 holes. You may need to buy a tap to chase the holes. If you dont already have one, I will gladly refund you each 5 or 10 bucks to cover the cost of a 3/8-24 tap. Once again Im very sorry. Lane, Mark and Eric, let me know if you have any issues. Terry, your plate will be fine, I have already remedied yours, and will ship it out today.

I feel like an A$$.

The thing is, do you look like one.

Not a problem, I think I'll live through it just fine.

I got my plate today; it looks good, but I haven't checked the threads yet. I think I can live with the error. Don't sweat it; it's a helluva lot neater than I could have done with my little hobby drill press.
