I like the idea, but your hole isn't offset, it's at almost a 5 degree angle crooked. Also why the hell would you grind the head off the a steel bolt while it's flush in a magnesium case? Even if you don't turn your case into a giant road flare, you're risking nicking it with the hand held grinder, which you did. Just mark ithe bolt with some masking tape or paint and cut it in a vice far away from the extremely soft and flammable magnesium case. Or hold it with your bare fingers when cutting with the current level of safety concern.
After cutting the head off, how are you going to screw the part into the block with the tape and sealant on it? If you use the stud, and I guess you could if you don't tap the whole piece. I guess it's possible to add two nuts to the stud, thread it into the piece. Tighten them and drive it in that way. Also, I've tried to light one of those cases on fire, and it's not easy. You have to have a roaring wood fire. Maybe a few small fragments might catch fire. But that whole chunk. Nope. you do know you can WELD magnesium...right? And I'm not a machinist, critique me on my glass installation, because it's what I do professionally. Proof being in the pudding. Leon was ecstatic that I was able to save his case. The rest of the engine however ....... I wish he would have bought some more pieces, to make the engine correct. All in all, I glad you liked the video, stop by any time and remember.....comment as you see fit.
@@OkFixer its probably being overly cautious, but the risk isn't setting the case on fire with a spark, its setting the magnesium trimmings and dust from the grinder on fire with sparks from the steel. The dust then ignites and burns at 5600degrees F which is 3 times hotter than a bonfire and will set your case on fire which can not be put out easily. Why risk it, especially when you were able to just figure out on your own how to do it in a safer manner when thinking it out? Also, you're fixing the case saver because magnesium cases are soft and it stripped out. However you're "fix" has a 5 degree angle in it now, when torqued down is going to put some angular stress on the case where that stud is and/or lead to issues with keeping the heads tight as heat and miles are put on the motor. Its a 5cent bolt you drilled. Just take the time to drill another one or two or however many to get it right. Cases are expensive, low grade bolts from hardware store are cheap.
I just though it would be easier to put the push rod tubes in prior to putting on the heads. I'm assuming you didn't torque anything down. Make sure you put the push rod tubes in with the seams facing upwards@@OkFixer
@@brianallen9810 I just have an old cylinder head on it so I can check my work. Leon has the cylinder heads and is cleaning them up. And…yes, on the push rod tube seams.

You are an inspiration. Stay warm! Our friends in OK say it's snowing right now.
Thank you, yes….snow… but tomorrow it will be 80 🤪
I like your approach to things and problem solving.
another gem of tip
Thanks
Nice job.👍
Thank you
That's really clever.
Thank you.
When life gives you lemons….the chickens HAVE to come home to roost……or….something like that 🤪
Genius I tell ya Forest your a GD genius 😀

Pretty ingenious. Push rod tubes ??
I’m not sure what you’re asking me. But, he’s buying new pushrod tubes.
