I stripped a head bolt hole in my Pond block and did it in place. I was laying horizontally across the car with my trusty DeWalt 14.4. I laid a calibrated eye-ball on it and let her rip! I then tapped it and put a 1" long heli-coil in the block. I was within a thou or two at the top of the stud after I installed it. You couldn't have done it any better with a bridgeport, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. The rocker hole should be a piece of cake.
