Same thing with snap rings, they have a round side and the other side a hard edge, due to them being punched out. But you are so correct about the washers being directional hard side is pressure side, snap rings hard side out so it's less likely to slip off.
Re the studs vs bolts IIRC there was a vid, perhaps from Engine Masters on TH-cam where they did a test and checked the bores and they were way off after the studs were fitted. It may well have been a junk Chevy block LOL.

@@rickseeman5679 we are getting ready to build a hemi for a 71 Barracuda. Do you know the weigh difference is between the KB aluminum and the Callie’s cast iron block? Also do you think one is stronger than the other. We plan to eventually put a couple turbos on it.
@@tensixtythreevideo Funny you should ask that. A buddy of mine just bought a scale to use on his engine hoist and now I want one. Unfortunately, my Callies is now a short block so I can't weigh it. The Callies is very heavy. I would guesstimate the Callies is around 320 and the KB around 140.
@@rickseeman5679 would you consider the Callie’s easier to build? I really like the thought of the kb aluminum but I’m also trying to avoid any surprises 😂
@@tensixtythreevideo Cast iron blocks are so expensive now it makes the KB's look cheap. For only $1,500 extra you have a KB. There are a couple of things that are different but nothing crazy. And when you get done you have a KB. That's nice.
I wish SpeedMaster did a $1500 block for the Hemi like they do for Chevy and Ford .. I can't vouch for the Ford, but I know a few people who have done 2000hp+ on that SBC block on boost with no sweat.. As many people tell me, Speedmaster / procomp stuff is okay as long as you buy the units that have no moving parts inside them. I really should pick up another one to build a replica of the smallblock in Grumpys Vega that beat the Hemis back in the 70's!😅
They may be nice casting by look but they quality of the steel is worse than the old blocks from 85 and earlier. I was a steel worker for 20 years and can vouch for steel quality. Even casting iron is more brittle. I purposely look for car parts from the 60s and 70s.
Does anyone make a shallow cylinder head with a 40 degree or even a 36 degree cylinder head instead of the 58.5 degree at a 4.500 bore ??? This should be a 2.500 intake and a 2.00 exhaust valve.
ANY ENGINE BUILDERS DREAM TO HAVE A BLOCK, THAT THE MAIN TUNNEL IS WITHIN A TENGHT AND A 1/2... I WOULD SAY CALLIES HAVE DONE A SPECTACULAR JOB MACINING THAT BLOCK.. JUGGLE YOUR BEARINGS AROUND AND YOU WILL FIND YOU BE WITHIN TENGHTS AGAIN ON YOUR MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE...THE CRANK WILL NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERENC BETWEEN 3.4 THOU ON 1, AND 3.5 THOU ON ANOTHER...AGAIN,A ENGINE BUILDERS DREAM..
There are not many blocks that are aesthetically the same I don’t know why they reproduce the block and they change the way it looks completely it takes away from what it is the old Mopar mega blocks that were 4 1/2 bore Looked identical to the street hemi block
I have a Bulldog block getting ready to throw together.Ive heard the horror stories about these blocks.have any thoughts on that particular block? I am planing in stroking it with stock bore.using7.100 length rods.Ive had block checked 3 different ways from Sunday I'm told its good.🤷
Hopefully it will be good. I suppose you have your reasons for going with a stock bore but I don't know of much upside to it. Remember, if you are planning to use Edelbrock heads (they are the best value/flow and they're aluminum) you will have to notch the bores or the valve won't open. If you need help with this mod let me know.
@@rickseeman5679 Finding Heads right now is a mess..went to the Nationals few weeks ago..Found one guy with a set of SR Indy heads.I do have a set of the old cast Mopar heads but really want the Vic Jr. What both would you recommend?

@@deansmiley8221 Not on 4.500" but I'm not sure when it will clear and when it won't on smaller bores. Everything is easier on 4.500 bore and parts are more available.

@@danieljacobson5774 I have no idea what I’m doing with it. I was just bored and looking for something to do. It has turned into a supply chain nightmare. I’m retired and I enjoy playing with Hemis. Justmoparjoe was doing videos and enjoying it so I thought I would video the build.
Thank you for this video! I’d love to build a Hemi one day, but it may take me a lifetime to save piece by piece. 👍
Almost all of us (hemi lovers) started where you are at. You will get there, given time.
Your slide hammer idea is awesome. Excellent way of thinking outside the box.
I have a tool fetish. When I see someone with a neat tool I want one. It makes my work easier and better. Thanks for watching.
That slide hammer is available from snap on. I have 2 of them to pull the pumps out of automatic transmissions.

Great video's Rick, do you still have the Neon & Avenger ?
No, I don't. But they were time & money well spent
So your going to pay six grand for a block then spend a trip to the hardware store to cobble a damn slide hammer. What the he ???
What weighs more, an all-aluminum 572 Hemi or a iron block 440 with aluminum heads?
All aluminum 572 Hemi would be lighter
