<div dir="ltr">Anthony,<div><br></div><div>       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!</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Jason Sukey</div><div><span></span><span></span>JS Performance Motoring, LLC<br></div><div>440.984.7720</div><div><a href="mailto:jason@jsperformancemotoring.com" target="_blank">jason@jsperformancemotoring.com</a><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/JSPerformanceMotoring/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/JSPerformanceMotoring/</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 9:08 AM Anthony Parker via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-4854506498340272691">

Has anyone successfully modified the 6 cyl. heads to allow for tappet removal with the head installed on the block?</div>

I would really like to be able to check for tappet and cam wear without the trouble of removing the head.</div>
