    1 piece would be stronger, and aluminum is way lighter, and it looks better. Especially if you anodize them. so here's the latest update. I am almost finished with the plate. I still have to mill a relief on the backside, but besides that it's finished. One thing I'm going to have to mention...

    Head / Block Skimming

    cbn is a negative cutter. not for use with aluminum. that's what the N in cbn stands for. that's the problem with 99% of automotive machine shops out there. None of them even understand what the names of the inserts stand for!!!! If you want to know the skinny on machine tools and inserts I'm...

    Head / Block Skimming

    make sure the shop that doing the head knows the difference between negative and positive cutters. Otherwise they'll have fun trying to hit less than 20 ra. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90018 and if they have the correct cutter they can easily get it around 10 or less as...

    well, they can't be reversed for a -89 supra. the angle is wrong. oh well... would have been convienant. as for the tolerences, they're already about .03 to .06 bigger than the bolt so it's pretty wide open there.

    Ummmmmmm cmm's are typically acurate within .0001" all day long thank you. (that's a difference of .040 on the hole sizes) It's so you can't reverse the mounts....... I plan on drilling the hole out bigger so I can reverse them.

    Question answered, Thanks! First time running wide band, on smog test:

    I'm in cali too, and it just depends on how well you know your smog guy really.... most of them will let a lot of stuff slide if they know who you are. The only thing that my smog guy cares about is that the car passes the puffer test, and that the gas vapor system seals up.

    Where to get male 1/4" bspt to male -6an fitting in the U.S. / water neck

    and mmost of the time you can fit a npt into a bspt without an issue!

    Where to get male 1/4" bspt to male -6an fitting in the U.S. / water neck

    you can just re-thread the british straight pipe thread with a same sized npt tap. I do this all the time. Works great 90% of the time. the other 10% is when the bspt was drilled the wrong size to begin with. the npt and the bspt's are the samme thread, just one is tapered so it seals up.
