The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop The Fenton Offenhauser clash

For the Fenton Plugs I used the set screws the machine shop put in the oil line holes in the block of my 261. If I hadn't had those I would have gotten some from the machine shop. I agree with Rattletrap that short is better.

I'm not sure if the dowels on the head are threaded, they might be?

I used high temp paint on my headers. If you do that too, you'll need to read the instructions on the high temp paint can- I believe it says that after painting you need to bake on the paint at 600 degrees for x amount of time. I used my oven and have heard of other people using pottery kilns or wood burning fireplaces.

Ceramic or Jet Coating runs around $100 I think.
