Default Head bolt pattern/spacing
Anyone have a diagram or photo of head bolt the pattern with spacing between the bolts? I’m making a TDC stop and forgot my head gasket…
Thx

The one I made I drilled two 5/8" holes 6 1/4" apart and it worked fine. Drilled a 5/16" hole and tapped it 3/8 x 16 for the stop bolt.

Make the head-bolt holes slotted (at least one of them) so the tool can be used on multiple brands of engines, or shifted side-to-side to avoid piston domes/dishes.

A spare 4-Bolt Main Cap works well.
