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.

 

so i can use one of those 1/4" die grinders ?

 

angle grinder with flap wheel eats at it nicely

 

lol cool ill pick up a 4 1/2" angle grinder.

 

got the angle grinder. what edge of the disk do i grind? what i mean is hold the grinder sideways or up in down or does it matter. sorry for the lame question just dont want to mess the block up.

 

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.

 

wow cool. most other people are doing it with the edge of the disk. im kinda of nervous.

 

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

 

i guess if i go slow it will be ok. and dont put pressure.

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

 

i wish i bought a grinder. ended up using a dremel, and A LOT of demel wheels.

it was a pain. especially since i didnt grind enough off and had to continue grinding while the engine was mounted. oh well, it was worth it. H2B is the sh*t

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

 

Hey how much is there to grind? i have the QSD kit but i can only get a DA intermediate shaft and for some reason my DC intermediate shaft will not fit.
