New block

[Tony Press]

Thanks all.
I feel a shopping list coming on, but think I have pushed the A7 budget a little in the last few weeks so may hold off for little while. I am sure I will find more questions as the refurb progresses.

Not sure what manifolding you are using but note that the earlier block has valve chest cover studs set higher than the later block so the largish knurled nuts are trapped behind the later combined manifold .

Also as discussed previously it is an idea to drill out the brass plugs to the gallery above the manifold and replace with screw in plugs after cleaning the waterway.

Cheers, Tony.
