Sig fixed, thanks OldSStroker. GBS has alot of great quotes, like Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. It's too bad he was a vegetarian and a socialist, and that he eschewed alcohol, tobacco, and coffee.

Bret, I'll let you know if I ever have all that stuff done. I probably won't, but it's fun to know about it anyway.

Yeah. *sigh*
There's also no free lunch, and you never really get more than what you pay for. The key to repeat business is to make your customers feel like they're getting more than what they're paying for.

Nick, this is a great place. I mostly post questions since I only know enough to know that I don't know enough, but it seems to work out OK.

 

OK, here's another machining question. I have the original main bolts, but I'd like to run a windage tray. I can't seem to find any windage tray bolts like GM used to make; all I can find is windage tray studs. Would it cause main bearing clearance problems if I installed windage tray studs? (Milodon says no, but of course they want to sell me the windage tray stud kit.)

 

First off, ALWAYS use studs over bolts almost everytime.

Most times going from bolts to studs will not change the bore and clearances but there is only one way to know MEASURE IT!
