Video with a hose? Im lost on that one. I thought i might of wrote it but i cannot see anything like that so im a little lost .@ec17pse I remember a video with a hose..?
The fitting comes with a very large flange, and has to be turned down to be welded on from the inside (too large otherwise). The fitting is super thin walled, but still much thicker than the pan material. Its super thin, like .070" or 1.75mm. Going to give it another shot when the new fitting comes Saturday. Decent plan but poor execution... I just suck at tig welding really badly. Its clumsy and its one step forward and two steps back. Nice thing is my buddy is just laughing confidently that he can fix whatever I mess up.
I test fitted the pan to a spare 6 bolt block I had in the shed, and it actually fits pretty decent. I will admit I had to clean up some of the factory welds that rubbed on the suitcase handle... and I will have to open up almost half of the bolt holes to get them to align well enough. They are all just a shade off in one direction. A die grinder can make them into ovals and im good to go there.
The only thing I haven't been able to check is rod clearance with the stroker crank since my spare block is all stock. Might have to do what PK did...
If he can fix it all for you then thats good. Keep going and see if you can get it done youtself. It is a shame its so thin walled and you have to turn the base down, the base really helps get a nice weld. Could you not of gone from the inside or is it still too big for that also
