Maybe time for studs, what did you have to remove the head for?
 
EDIT we posted seconds apart.. ft/lb instead of Nm explains a bit.
And yes the extension bar twists under load, I use Impact sockets & extension bars when I can.

I did the same with my XF stuck them up as far as possible, then punch into the sump and fish out with a magnet "on a stick"

Ok I will share my knowledge.
 
The strongest would be the simese bore nascar block. Very very rare. They would all be in the USA. Ive never seen one.
 
Next the nascar block none Siamese. If you have one and it has core shift (which is very common in Australia) just fit a sleeve and some grout. I will be fine.
 
A bad tune will kill any block especially with boost.
 
A lot of yank std block I've got have really clean inner bores. Due to. They use inhibitors for cold climates . In the early days hear ppl alway just ran water.
 
My next pic of the bunch would be an xd black block. And as mention check for core shift and rusty corrosion inside of the bores.
It needs to be free of scale and rust to do a proper sonic test and even that won't help with a porous pin hole which is common.
 
Please don't confuse the nascar block with a bubble block or aka pillow. Same pillows on the side, same as the xe nascar but no solid pan rails or bell crank.
 
Fyi. My current blown clevo is a nascar. My high boost clevo iam building now with a dart iron eagle 9.2 and solid chi heads.
My big bore Arrow is due in December...can't wait. See. How it goes as it will have over 800 n/a on scm heads.

The Wombat raced again at mt barker yesterday and had a great run, finish 2nd in all 3 heats to qualify outside pole for the final, then goes and WINS the final, yeah boi pretty pumped about that

He is not using BOC anymore he cant drive 

Ill get Daniel to do him a box sooner of later. I think where going to do a mass box building sesh soon. He is also doing the box for the white car cause thats shit that box
 

under the round plate is the fuel supply to needle & seat. (internal adjusted float level.) float sitting level is correct.
I have the same leaking problem on my 6210 650 DP Holley

Holley's are easy as, it probably take under an hour depending on how anal you are with cleaning it.
thats why it takes me 4 hours to kit & port a weber.
Thermoquads aren't to bad, just lots of linkages and crap. my first carby I rebuilt was a thermoquad.

Got it all in the car and running, alot of time spent on the laptop getting all the systems setup. LOL now the engine idles do low may alternator needs a smaller pulley because i don't have any voltage at 800rpm!!!!!
 

Xflow - 345hp @ 6100 333ftlb @ 4700
FG -    355hp @ 6050 342ftlb @ 4500
 
same dyno, same fuel brand, same manifold, same exhaust, same tuner, 3 years apart!!
 
So thats a stock FG DOHC head port, chamber, valve angles etc which is different to BA DOHC also we love vct saw one simple change at 5000 to the exhaust cam and gained 20hp!!! the cams have 60 degrees of movement and we are using all of that through the rev range.
 
Should be back out racing in the next few weeks if all goes well.

Thanks Pete I'll remember for later, need to get front brakes to come unstuck at the moment. Takes 119ft/lb to turn front wheels.
Don't need line lock in the front for manual burnouts, just learn to heel toe brake & accelerator,
press brake & accel at same time with right foot, dump clutch, spin, upgears. easy I do it in my AU.

Well it didn't happen but the car didn't go any slower a string of 11.0's @ 119mph

I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's only two states worth being in, Victoria and drunk

Sweet


Love that track it has its own off ramp and and return road Down here the track looks worse then the return road there and our return road is almost dirt LOL 

I have a PRP 1006 on mine, suits ford cable.

 

Shouldn't be to bad on the dyno, my tuner told me a back in the day a stock 302C used to make 125rwhp or 130rwhp for a good one.
My 302c has the next cam up (214@0.050" 510" 110LC) and makes 215rwhp. 90hp over stock
