Is that Rino liner on your bed walls? Looks great!

Thanks! Yes I had it Rhinoed in early October. I debated about whether to paint or line it, I am very happy with the outcome.

TIME-SERT 7/16-14 SAE Thread Repair Kit https://a.co/d/32d6sQd
These will be better than new there's a guy on YT that I recommended these he used then on his turbo build with Chinese heads and they were pulling out a few studs I have used them a few times on Hondas for the timing belt tensioner that has a bold just going into the soft aluminum block these are about as good as you can get another redneck option I thought of just give her a few tacks welds heat the head with a torch and send it lol just need to use high nickel flux core

Thanks for your response man! But, the thing is, I don’t have screw in studs, I just have old school press-in that stock SBCs have. This looks like it’s a thread repair kit? Or is it something for cutting in NEW threads? Either way that’s pretty cool.

Oil change day, and I got the deeper offset Halibrands on the front. I had no idea that just a little more dish would make such a difference!

cost/labor hows that work out compared to a reputable builder like Redhead? Nothing meant quality wise. Getting at, should this be something everyone should start doing themselves with/without a spare.

I don't know. This is the first one I have done. The seal kit with bearings was 42 bucks. I've got about 3 hours into break down and cleaning. Still have to assemble. 300+295 core charge. Tax and shipping both ways. So roughly 800 if you don't have a core.
