i'm about to rebuild my engine.....i'm using crower staff on the head
but on the block it would be je piston and stock rod.
my Qs is did any one here notch ther block?

 

why would you need to notch the block? the only reason you need a notched block is for a long *** stroke.

 

what the hell is a notched block?

 

If you have H-beam rods then you might have to notch it. I had to on mine. It doesn't take much, and you don't have to be precise. Just make sure you ahve clearance.

 

I still have no idea...........

 

OK, if what he is asking is what most people are refering to as "notching", then here is the deffinition:

When you have a block, the bottom of the cylinder wall has enough clearance for the stock rods to rotate. If you have an H- beam rod (like I do) then the rod is too fat and it hits the bottom of the cylinder wall on the side. You have to cut out that part of the block to make it fit and able to spin.
