Hit anouther wall
I started to put my motor together.
I solved the problem with my Oil pan dip stick issue beening on the drivers side.
Now the Trick Flow head I bolted them on every thing went smouth untill I tryed to install the sensors the theaded holes in the New heads are way to big they just fall though.
I think the stock hole are 9/16 and the holes in the new heads are at least 3/4 inch.
It not stopping there if I was so lucky the older style block for the knock sensor same issue
Old stock L98 block the hole is 1/2 I think the new older style block is9/16 I think.
What do I do now.
I planning to call Trick Flow this comming week to find out if they have adapter for the head issue but for the block can I get a diffrent Knock Sensor that fits the larger hole Whats the part Number or is there a reducer out there I cant find so far so I can use the stock Sensor That I rather go with to get this fire put out.
