Back in the 90's I had some serious oxidation issues using stainless bolts with an aluminum intake manifold. The bolts deteriorated the intake to the point that it was almost unusable as the bolt holes were deformed due to oxidation. I don't know if it was a metallurgical issue or not but I also encountered the same problem with stainless bolts and an aluminum boat transom repair using never seize that time. The bolts still bnded to the aluminum and had serious white oxidization at every fastener point. I have not used stainless bolts in an aluminum application since and i would be very apprehensive about putting them into an aluminum head. Just my experience. Have you encountered similar?

Hi Dave... I haven't had any trouble with the stainless steel and aluminum,but also have not been in a moist environment as a boat... dissimilar metal's do have electrolysis if in water that has minerals in it like salt..

I made a "flapper rod" for my die grinder about 25 years ago, I used a 3/4" bolt shoulder. I turned it down on one end to 1/4" so that it would chuck up. I cut a slot in the big end for emory cloth. I can wrap emory cloth and achieve whatever desired thickness over3/4" and tear off the outer layer as I go. Thanks for yet another video.

Ah the early 90's, a great time to be a gearhead. I bought my first car, a low option '69 Nova(307/th350), for $600 in 1992 and built a 327 with junkyard L98 aluminum heads for it in my HS auto shop. It was almost always on M&H cheater slicks and embarrassed a lot of people at the local street spot. I also had the David Vizard SBC head book from that time and the Car Craft issue with the flowbench plans in it. After HS I found an old Kwickway seat and guide machine from a shop that was closing down. I used it to rebuild a lot of fuelie and other heads for friends to help finance my hobby. Never did get around to building the flowbench but one of my HS autoshop teachers did.

I bought a 1971 Corvette years ago and I'm sorry I let it go. It was Ontario Orange in real nice condition with a Saddle interior. 350/4 speed. Luggage rack and all numbers matching. I bought it at the Pomona, Ca. swap meet. Later on, I bought a '93 C4 that was my dream car. Of all the cars I owned, that '93 was the best. I commend you on your workmanship and it looks like you got a beauty. It's a big deal when the engine runs well. I would love to buy another C3 but the prices now are out of my reach so I enjoyed your video and I like your Vette.

That is the only way to do it right, because very seldom does everything line up right ,, we have.
