Hey Everyone,
when my car last ran i had blow by issues.
so this time around i opted to tap the block to create a breather port, as i'm running much wider ring gaps and more boost.
The casting is a little thin here at the tap so i am worried about fitting material selection, i know brass is softer than cast iron but i'm afraid here the thickness negates any strength advantage and brass thermal expansion might cause a fatigue failure. has anyone else here run this mod?
should i be looking for a mild steel NPT fitting? am i just overthinking this? also what kind of epoxy should i use for this application
thanks,
-Will
