Ok machine shop called me yesterday and said that the eagle rods i was having put in hit the bottom side of the cylinder. I told him to grind it. He called me back and said he thought it was to much to grind. How much do you have to grind off should i be concerned with this or tell him to grind away and not be worried.

 

notch it like this, refer to this site for more details http://www.theoldone.com/artic...tips/

 

why would the eagle rods be hitting the block? are they the correct block for the rods? i don't see why you would have to cut anything out of the block to make them fit.

 

the eagle h beams need clearancing of the block.

i think there is one company that makes d series rods that clears the block, cant remember right now, crower??

 

the newer eagles dont have to have the block notched at all.
