Dam I wish I had known about these before I put this last motor together. I hold my head down with my specs and those inserts would definitely help. Thanks for the video JD.
Pretty slick.👍Some advice for others thinking of doing this. You could also use a drill bit or something of the sort that fits snug in the stock hole to ensure center. Also if it is an option use collets instead of a drill chuck and a ream or end mill to make the bottom of the hole fit the insert better.
Just subscribed Major confidence, skill , and the art of engine building with experience . Is whats needed when modifying an engine. I do however have a question. Why not or why should it not go all the way through until it can touch the block so that no part of the head experiences extreme pressure in any uneven way? It would be a complete set pressure across the head if the washers protruded through all the way down to the block. And what about aluminum splitting with the way that its just been done?

$20 isn't terrible, so at least the part is relatively cheap.
Do you have a link for this washers by any chance?
