[Fot] 6 cyl. tappet removal

[Michael Moore]

Was wondering if you could do something like on an Austin Healey six cylinder where they have view ports in the side of the block. I have no idea if it could be done or how to do it!!!

Thanks
Mike

Anthony,

       Seeing as how the tappets must come up above the deck surface of the block to remove them, you'd basically have to project all 12 tappet bores up through the head.  I don't think there is enough material in the head to do that without breaking through.  This is a great idea, and I'd love to be wrong, so if you figure out a good solution, please do share!

Has anyone successfully modified the 6 cyl. heads to allow for tappet removal with the head installed on the block?
I would really like to be able to check for tappet and cam wear without the trouble of removing the head.

Thank you,
