On a 225 you can replace it without pulling the head, on a 170 you cannot. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

It's right next to the head. Probably have to scrape some grease/paint to see it.

On a 225 you can replace it without pulling the head, on a 170 you cannot. This is the correct answer. The 225 is a raised block, like the 440 VS the 383. Easy to spot if you've seen both. Go over to Allpar to the slant six page and you will be able to see the difference in the illustrations. Note that one is mislabelled! They don't like linking the pics, so it's easier to just go over and look. http://www.allpar.com/slant6.html
