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

Re:Posted my own block!
 

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

Re:Posted my own block!

I used Jb Weld! ;) That's what Jeff said to use in his write-up. (Another headlock coming? :()

Re:Posted my own block!
 

jeff's leaked :-\ :-\...i put some high temp rtv on the threads on mine

Re:Posted my own block!
 

ohhh-oh, leaks???

Re:Posted my own block!
 

Well, the block is still sitting. What would you do now? I'll reseal it if I need to. I just wonder what the best way would be now that the jb is on there.

If what your saying is true, that was a really great fucken write-up. :P (Jeff, your fired)lol

Re:Posted my own block!
 

Can someone enlighten me as to the benifit of doing this? Also, as to what you did? I looks like you drilled holes in your block then put a screw in it and covered them with JB weld. Is it susposed to strenghten the block?

basically, yeah, that's all you do, it gives the sleeves a little extra support. there is a write up in the tech projects page.

Re:Posted my own block!
 

Talk to my machine shop guy, and he said he doesn't know what temperature jb weld turns to liquid, but if my motor ever hits 600 degrees, I'll have alot of other problems to worry about first. He said I should be fine. ;)

Re:Posted my own block!
 

Yup if your engine is hitting 600F it would be break before the jbweld got time to drip of

Re:Posted my own block!
 

hahaha, silly rotary guys, you don't have sleeves to support, it's a piston engine thing, you wouldn't understand.

I tore apart a rotary last week and put it together today, there are pretty cool. the engine didn't run when I got ahold of hit, and I didn't replace ---- when I took it apart so it definetely won't run now, haha.

Re:Posted my own block!
 

if you scroll down, jeff updates with a "dont use jb weld"

anyway, that rtv silicon sealant should do just fine.
