Getting block prepped for the hot tank

And you all think I should defintely pull the two small plugs behind the cam retainer plate?

I'll have to figure some sort of threading slide hammer thing to get those, but not too big a deal

thanks,

Yes. Take them out. You can also take out the screw in plugs in the rear of those oil galleries and use a long Rod and punch them out from the rear.

All of the main bearing feed holes should be drilled to .287 (9/32).
