I'm installing some Eagle rods in d16z6 block and will be notching the block my self, but was wondering if anyone knows which grinding bit to use or maybe a part number I can use, I searched but did not see anything about which tool or grinding bit to use. Oh forgot to also mention that I will be using a Craftmen (Sears) air grinder if that makes any different.

 

i cant remember the bit i used
i beleive it was carbite (dont qoute me, i cant remember)

if u have questions about notching , let me know i did it on my block and have pics

 

This page has a how-to on block notching. It's what I used to notch my D16 block.

I used a carbide bit in a straight die-grinder. The bit was one with parallel sides and a dome shaped tip. I think a cone with 45* sides would be nicer because then the air hose wouldn't hit the side of the block as much.

 

thanks guys for all your help.
