And no, you cannot simply replace the rod cap. Edited October 6, 2021 by Gregor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, you have to modify the block on some of them, some you can just cut the ears off. The term "big block" is a bit deceiving sometimes. Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
