70 block long stud

jdman(MO) · Jan 2, 2013

One stud in the 70 gas block is 3/8 inch longer than the others. I don"t think it goes where the parts books shows. I would think it goes where the oiler goes for the tappets. Russ

I would also think so too. I will check some info and post later.

I would think that it goes on the oiler as well, however your block studs may all not be run down in the block making some longer than the other.

You would be surprised how tight they get going into yhe block.

The long case stud is for the oil feed casting. Fred the block studs are slightly oversize which results in a press or 0 clearance as they tighten into the case. I always used a pipe wrench and cheater to tighten, JD had a special tool for this, some lock up a couple of nuts to tighten in.
