I don't think I ever said "always". But right now, I'm being CHEAP as I don't have any RTV, but I have plenty of #2.

Which is fine, because Permatex № 2 is a few hundred miles closer to being an appropriate material for this application than RTV.
Technically, I'm in agreement. However, there are a couple of reasons I personally prefer high temp RTV. First off of course, it seals. Then it withstands heat. Lastly, it also acts as an anti seize. I've always had good luck with it on bolt threads. It works "for me".

indeed, you do have plenty of #2... as do i. in fact, some would say that i'm full of it!
Got the adapter plate on the Super Six intake. Now I'm ready for a Holley 4412 two barrel. Probably more appropriately, a chinkesium knockoff Holley 4412. lol

Wonder what cutting that divider in the intake might do? I'd be curious!
I thought bout it.
Got my 1/4 x 32 tap today and installed the .040 jet in the main oil passage plug. I couldn't get the plug out, so I just screwed the jet in from the front. I also got my valve height mic today and took all those measurements. I have lots of shims, but of course I don't have the right ones so they are on the way. lol I "should" have a short block by the end of the week. Maybe. LOL

I took Mine out completely, but I wasn't boosting it, may be a functional fuel shear/atomizer...or not...lol.

.....your slant will scream.
Got me an oil pump picked out and cleaned up, primed and painted with cast iron grey. I'm gonna put a high pressure relief sprAng in it.

I took the mannyfold to my friend Freddie. He's a whiz with porting and modifying stuff. If I tried to do it, I'd cut the damned thing in half. He's gonna remove the center divider and open the oval up to match the adapter.

Two atmospheres are better than one
With boost it likely won’t make a bit of difference either way.
Well it's comin out. lol

I'm digging the fact it's a low buck turbo build. That's the PERFECT scenario for a slant

I have a bunch of machining experience with turbo AMC inline 4.0 strokers, its mind blowing what they are capable of.
There have been SO many builds that I've seen that have eclipsed a V8 build and that doesn't make sense to me. I wouldn't "mind" finding some TRW forged stock replacement pistons and there are some on ebay. But that's more expense that I don't have, plus, I believe the factory cast pistons will take 10PSI.....not that I'm gonna do that. I just think they would, especially as long as I didn't try leaning it out gettin all the fire I could.

Got that snail in the mail yet? If you already have it , tell us about it.
And I think the slant has an arguably stronger bottom end, even with only four mains. I've never seen a broken slant 6 block or crank, although I'm sure it's been done.
Refresh my memory. I have several small things coming.

Turbo...
Oh heck no. I won't be able to afford that for a bit. "Maybe" next month. We'll see. I'm just gonna get "everything else" done in the meantime.
