Tony.
I will bow to your years of experience.
And on a bad block will try it out.
I am paranoid about buggering up the blocks as they Are the thing to save.
I used to drill and muck around and sometimes just run a drill through and tap them 12mm, then make the studs to suit, BUT a big job.
Now what about that nos 2.399 crank,LOL,I could sure put that to good use, Or I could send you a set of nos std flanged rod bearings.
How are you handling the virus thing, we are lucky up here no virus got here.
Take care .
