Default 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 )
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 *** a headlock too.
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.

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

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