As part of my engine-out got-less-than-a-week-to-complete-it project, I need to tap the bottom of the block (Type 1, Brazilian) to install the thermostat mounting stud.
I was looking at my tapset and it seems that the T-handle is gonna be bumping up against the underside of the head/pushrod covers area. Am I mistaken? This looks messy -- I don't want to pull the head. I'm not real familiar with tools available for doing this kind of work. What might be the tool/technique for doing this?
