Why do i have to drill steam holes into the engine block when installing heads.?
The Edelbrock head have extra holes that connect to the main water passages. I believe the steam holes help prevent any sort of vapor locking in the water jackets surrounding the cyllinder sleeve. Must allow the steam to escape up to the cyllinder heads. Apparantly older 289 and 302's didn't have these. Just don't break off the drill bit like I did!
