Change in plans. Another new build begins

Duane said

And how much load is there on a waterpump that you think he needs
to be told this.
Did you see his post about chamfering under the head bolts.
I already apologized for bringing this issue into his build thread and you guys jump in with two more. Let's discuss some real tips from a guy with lots of experience building 9 second motors not the 35ft pounds on the water pump bolts.
My apologies again John.

None needed buddy. Sometimes we read something quickly or on the run and post without thinking it over. I know I do. I should quit putting some details in my posts because I do think differently on some subjects and it opens up the post to the by the book guys, and 9 times out of 10 it’s something they have read in a book because they don’t actually build there own stuff. I’ve tried to shy away from some posts on head porting because I know for a fact that head won’t flow that number. That’s why I always gave guys before and after numbers from my bench. If a head flows 250 but on your bench it flows 270 it makes the guys who calibrated his bench numbers look low. But it sure helps get the sloppy guy more porting work. Don’t even get me started on dyno numbers. Lol
