Dave's motors are.

Very nice! Are those hot heads freeze plugs?
Yes, the stainle$$ plugs are for the coreplug holes... I think they need a thicker o-ring, and maybe a little more crush, but they claim they have not had any issues. I will modify if I need to.
Balance job is back, so some more work got done.

Oh, so very nice!
Got all of the pistons in, timing cover on, oil pump on after some main cap nut & washer massaging.

To much O.D. on that nut?

Very nice! It's always something every time you turn around huh? :LOL:
Turned it in the lathe?? Curious how you held it. Expanding arbor or a simple bolt/stud?Quote:

Are you aware that the V6/small block timing chain tensioner will fit the early Hemi with very little modification? I put one on my 331. They are a nice addition.
