I haven't read throught the whole thing either. What can I say - just thought I'd jerk your chain and see if you would come out of your cage and play...Im not the guy that hadn't read through it. The noob was. I've just clicked "Last Page" so many times that I hadn't noticed just how many pages I was clicking on.
Welcome to the forums ya little prick.How is things going with your build? I just read all 70 pages in the last 4 hours. Your hatch looks DOPE! JDM!
You know I'm always ready to be an a-hole right back. I toned it down though cause I remember the last time you didn't take it so well. lolI haven't read throught the whole thing either. What can I say - just thought I'd jerk your chain and see if you would come out of your cage and play...

Nice. The GSR head will do some good. hopefully, shit wish i could be in the passenger seat to video tape you doing some pulls. I WISHThings are going pretty well, I just recently installed a GSR head. Progress is slow because I am away for school. When I get back I'll have about two weeks of free time to get the VTEC conversion completely finished. The car will be going to Utah at some point this summer because my parents are moving.
The hole that I drilled is not on center. I thought it was, but the engine being at a funny angle kind of made it difficult to determine whether or not I was actually going in to the bolt straight. That guide plate is a solid idea. I think I'll do that if I decide to drill and retap the hole.Can't keep a drill on center to put a pilot hole in it? I'm probably make up a guide tool/plate that would bolt up to the block using water pump attaching holes on either side, adjacent to the problem hole. Then, use a robust drill bit, not a standard twist drill, but the Craftsman set drill or a center drill on it. You can use the water pump to locate the holes in the plate.
If theres already hole in the busted bolt, I dont think any drill will help "move" the hole to center.
Keep in mind, this next bit is what I do when my work piece is loaded in a machine and I have all my cutting tools at my dispossal.
I usually get an end mill as large as possible while still being smaller than the hole your workin with, plunge into the hole and slowly work it in position. Ive done this with 1/8" and 1/16" bits in Dremels and hand drills before.
The problem with trying to move a hole with any drill, is they dont use their sides to cut, just the face. No matter how sturdy you guide it, as soon as your off the face, it will deflect. End mills dont have that problem because the flutes are sharp as well.
