Ross, I don't have a Facebook account. None here I ran across one and didn't know what year it's use was dropped.

Did some FE's come with a oil galley air bleeding valve that looks like an oil galley plug/cap with a jiggle valve in it ? What years ?

The fasteners are held in by friction and the strength of the concrete, 5" of 4000 psi concrete is all that is needed 30" is not necessary also drilling through the floor to dirt is not how carbon steel expansion anchors are installed correctly reading the directions for this type of installation should be done. If installed correctly and torqued properly Hilti brand wedge anchors will not need to be retorqued this has been my experience over the past 24 years for my lift and from having installed thousands of this type of anchor. IIRC only 1/2" to 3/4" of the anchor should be above the top of the nut any more and you don't have the rated holding power of the anchor.

FE Technical Forum / Re: 390 Ribbed block
« on: August 17, 2023, 09:49:42 PM »
This rebuilder was in Oklahoma city, Oklahoma. The year number was slightly ground on and unreadable. It was a fancy tag aluminum with two drilled holes in the block and two fastners like the ones used on the underside of a FE intake to hold the oil splash pan on. We removed the fastners to remove the tag and oil was coming out of the holes at a very fast rate. This was on the passenger side of the block.

Try a bit more clarity about exactly what you want, your saying a few different things that do not add up to any one.
