Posted my own block!
 
Well, yesterday I finally posted my block. It is pretty easy as long as you have the right tools. Jeff didn't say what size tap to use in his write-up, so now I owe him a headlock! But I will say, the 3/8 16 tap worked perfect (no headlocks for me 8))
The one thing I did get from the write up is that you should torque them to 2 inch pounds. My smallest torque wrench was 25, so I just snugged em' up and said ---- it. (Like that little fucken screw is gonna ---- me up if I put it in a little tighter than supposed to)
Anyway, I did it and it came out pretty good. Larry from endyne told me my block will be "bulletproof", so if I ever blow it up, I owe his ass a headlock too. ;D
Oh yeah, tap a piece of wood and screw the pin into that first, that way you'll know stealthmode didn't lie to you.

25 ft lbs. thats alot, they are supposed to be barley torqured for a reason. You should make sure its ok before you warp or crack anything

na, i think he meant the only torque wrench he had was 25 ft/lbs., so he just made them snug without the wrench.

This is Jeff's block, but mine looks exactly the same. And when you guys do your blocks,,,, it's gonna look just like this too.
I would like to post pics of my sexy notching for my larger rods, but my camera sucks donkey balls. Maybe I will later :P
