That was about oem blocks and caps, now my race blocks the register is much tighter and I thump then with a short wooden block and as well need that same block to remove them.

But I have seen shops use a big chisel near the cap to move a bit of material before align hone job...mixed thoughts on that.

But most oem caps seem to just fit snug vs tight, but ive only done 40 or so small blocks over the years, im sure others like John for example have seen the full barrel of monkies.


Id just like to know more on this deal so I can try to avoid it in the future.
