Genesis blocks

I always have to alter either the head gasket or use a ball mill to slot the feed at the deck on Genesis blocks. I have not had that issue down at the cam bearing end. I believe (Shoe can probably answer this) that the Ford blocks have the oil feed canted on an angle in two planes, On the Genesis blocks I've seen, they only cant the passage angle in one plane.

When assembling these I usually use a small halogen flashlight (the ones that have an elastic band to go around your head) in a darkened room to look through the oil passages and verify that they are open. A friend also made up a micro-sized flex light from a reduced diameter "grain of wheat" LED on a 36" long wire attached to a belt battery pack. Very useful for putting light into restricted areas.

I have still never built a Cammer....
