Hey Guys,
I will let you know which way I want to go after I get under the Cobra again. It will probably depend on how far off the reading is. I will admit Carnut427 is correct. I don't know if I have the skill to peen the hole correctly and I don't want to bash the surface incorrectly. Although on the flip side, if done correctly this would save time and money compaired to the off-set dowels. My machinist friend says to align the housing a pass a reamer throught the bellhousing into the dowel hole. This would remove any off-set depending on the over-size. The dowel size will be increased, but alignment will be dead on. The local hardware store carries the over-sized dowels, so that would work too. Hard to say at the moment, I'm just getting into the reaming and threading of the oil galley holes. Why does my head hurt
