Won't you need a 10 stud crankcase to go with it?

Yes, but some of us have that covered

Steve

I’ve only got one Steve. 

Not many people have been daft enough to try to machine one let alone two.

Crankcase casting were never a fast selling line, as Tony Betts will confirm.

Seems like there is a decent depth in the stud holes too. Even more envious!

Thanks but let’s wait another couple of years until it’s finished. 
If I’ve gone wrong it may simply end up being a workshop curio

I have had a look at the pictures.
I find it odd that there are helicoils in a brand new block.
I am glad its not correct for my EB65 apart from the fact I now have two 9E blocks both have had a lot of laser welding done to them.

If I was doing it, I’d helicoil every one as a matter of course. Threaded holes in cast aluminium are marginal at best.
