Default h2b block grinding

what kind of grinder you guys use to grind the back of the block? will a regular air die grinder work? do i need an ANGLED grinder? Please give me some ideas.

I dont think it matter what kind of grinder you use as long as it works. Just make sure you use the right kind of disc.

Make sure you wear some safety glasses and put a garbage bag around the motor to keep the metal away.

Do it in a well ventilated area, aluminum dust will give you a nasty headache.

Buy a flap-wheel if you aren't confident, they only go one way

if you've never used a grinder, just go get a random piece of metal and just grind stupid **** into it. you'll get so much grinding confidence

It's a good idea to fit the midshaft and axle on the block while the motor is out

I had to grind a little as well, not fun on your back under the car
