Message	If you go in from the front you can get about 6 inches max !!!. I used a air grinder with a carbide bit :). If you want to do the job right you must remove the top 3 freeze plugs and the rear plug to get to the ridges in the back. It took me about 4 hours but i got about a 3/4 inch hole all the way to the back. I also smoothened out the edges using the top freeze plug openings to get to the individual water jackets. In the end i had about 2 lbs of ground block. For the second block i simply had my machine shop drill straight thru using a 3/4 inch dia drill on a huge drill press. Took them about 15 minutes and 35 bux :) Ofcourse they thought i was crazy - LOL BTW don't go over 3/4 inch because you might damage the water jacket. There is not a lot of room back there.

(n/m) - PunkZTT(Phoenix) 12:24:40 04/20/04 Yes, it's the typical way. - Woody75 (Denver) 15:32:09 04/20/04 thanks man, i was wondering what people were talking - NA300zx (OH) 08:58:52 04/20/04 VTFAQ!! But is that the only place where there is flash? (n/m) - BigTDogg (MA) 09:08:51 04/20/04 Nope. The water passage is by far the worst but there - Milo (Sport Z Magazine) 16:23:31 04/20/04 my experience >>> - yellowzxtt 10:00:22 04/20/04 Good job...... BUT - Milo (Sport Z Magazine) 10:09:36 04/20/04 While what you have done may improve cooling of the engine - zxjpmzx 12:43:32 04/20/04 Improved flow does not equate to improved cooling - lazersos 18:12:36 04/20/04 hmm.. - PunkZTT(Phoenix) 19:11:43 04/20/04 Don't get me wrong - lazersos 21:56:59 04/20/04 This is why I did not VTF.
