318 build

[RustyRatRod]

hoo buddy, if you think that's disrespectful i suggest you stay home polishing your silverware, reading magazines and online articles about engine building and order in everything because with that tissue paper skin of yours the world might just be a little too much for you to bear.

anyway, a dirty little secret here: i didn't go to school for this ****. i mean yeah, i was born dick first with a ratchet in hand and double stack snap on attached to my umbilical cord; but i still had to learn this junk. and i did so by experience. building and breaking ****. spending my own hard earned money. ******* something up because i didn't RTFSM or check a critical tolerance. years of snapping together junk, busting knuckles, figuring it out when there wasn't a forum to turn to for answers, all that.

sure it's possible you know some of the things i know, there's a vast amount of common knowledge out there daniel. but don't come chirping up with some bullshit hypothetical when you don't got no grease under your nails.

you don't gotta fake it to kick it homey.

All he knows is what he's gleaned on this forum and a lot of it gleaned incorrectly, yet he's giving advice as if he has 50 years experience. Some of us actually do.

Keep digging it's entertaining

No it’s not!

Did you go to school on how to be disrespectful? Cause you’re good at it. Maybe it's because I don't have all of the schooling that you do and it's just possible that I might know some of the same things that you know.

Please stop adding in your two cents on the “Hate w and what to do to your engine” posts because you spread misinformation and reall bad misinformation. Almost as bad as 273 who gained 90% of his knowledge from this site.

Both of you guys should STHU

Dont forget the ever present "93 mph in the 8th"

 

[replicaracer43]

I put Dan the man with no car on ignore a long time ago, he has zero real world experience, he just reads forums and spouts BS. A true "wanna be"

with the tale of how they're driven: burning thru 1st and gear, drifting around corners and riding up curbs... i'm shocked there's even tread left.

and what tread may be left there is gar-un-teed to be harder than a wedding dick

I wish that I had never gotten away from the car scene but **** happens. Family, house, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about

so your point being is that you think you've stumbled onto something that nobody in the history of building these motors has considered? and now you think that somehow equates to you having a "one up" on others?

fine. fair enough.

however... the point remains that you've never done it. so you don't know. all you have is a hypothetical. which... well, isn't all that hypothetical because nobody has encountered this problem. the most likely scenario is because if you're decking the block that much, cutting the heads to that degree and running that thin of a headgasket you're build a gat dang race motor and *gasp* you're using studs. imagine that.

i just put the heads on my 318, and if i didn't just pay $50 for a head gasket and intake gaskets and it wasn't a pain in all nine assholes to pull one off in the car, i'd do it just to get the measurement and show you how much room there is left down there.

i love how you get wrapped up in a bunch of hypothetical inconsequential nonsense on a motor that you're never gonna build for a car that you don't even own.

don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff, danimal.

I'm putting together a 340 now, I can measure the extra room. But the tapped holes have been cleaned up with a bottoming tap. Oh and by the way, adding .12 hardened washers under the head bolts is a good idea and makes this ridiculous argument sound even sillier.
