I am curious about something. That is the number of head bolts/studs on
flathead engines. I had an old car once that had a Continental 6 cyl
and that sucker had about a million head bolts. Same with old Ford
flatheads, lots of bolts or studs. And yet, with todays high compresion
engines, greater dimensional tolerance requirements for flatnes, etc,
most only have 10 bolts/studs for each bank of cyliners. What's up with
all the bolts on a low comp enigine?
mayf, just in from the shop area...mostly doing nothing...
