This is in regards to on-center work.
I have been told be several friends (whom I trust implicitly), that in order to mount up a front cover on either of these two on-center blocks, that the cover would have to be shaved .125 or so. So that the cam gear and cam sensor properly align.
OK, no reason to doubt this simply because the on center block is longer than the off center.
My question is, since Buick Motorsports made both on center and off center blocks, didn't they make front covers for on center blocks???? Or does everybody (on-center) have to shave their front covers??
P.S. Got the lifter bore lube holes drilled on "INDY1" turned out pretty good. Just had two intrusions into the valley which were easilly welded shut.
