What does 4 bolt mean?

I like the comments made on this post ,its true you never stop learning ,But to share your knowlage with others is sort of passing the torch to those that will perpetuate our way of living. THE DAY YOU STOP LEARNING IS THE DAY YOU DIE

 

Where are the stove bolts?

 

Well there ya go, that's a good question that I'll bet alot of younger members don't know the answer to. "Stove bolt" in automotive terms generally referred to the 50's Chevy 6 cylinder 216 and 235 cubic inch motors. Oh, wait a minute, you asked where are they. Just wait and you will find out if this thread lasts any longer.

 

Pretty good band called 5 BOLT MAIN. I wonder where they got the name.

 

5 bolt what???? Never heard of them!

 

I just got laid.
"AND THE BOWTIE ROLLS ON"

 

I like boobies.......

 

Make mine LARGE...

 

Well said 73super, Blue One, Stripnut no matter how old you are there's always something to learn unless one know's it all already. This smart ass shit kills a thread and the poor guy who asks never gets his question answered to him was probably very impotant maybe didnt get to work the next day or lost precious time on his project till he could find out some guys are just born with a triple chrome plated wrench stuck up there ass.

 

So why 'Stovebolt"?

 

Sorry Bob, maybe we can find somebody older than me to answer that one!

 

Hmmmmmmmmm

Why Stovebolt? As far as I recall it was because of the fasteners Chevrolet used on it's cars. Looking at it from the engine side of it the the various covers that are on the 6 cylinder engines were slotted pan head screws such as seen on stoves.

 

What did the term "15 oz" in the fuel coupe name refer to?

 

That is a good guideline to follow for those starting threads that ask questions. And for the responders to those threads I'd say "it is often better to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you're an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.

I'm buying the coffee!!

 

I believe the term goes clear back to the 30's originally referring to the OHV six that came out in 1929.

 

el Scotto = el Pricko

 

"The whole nine yards"

 

Oh I know that one!! Its from the Scottish and English: It takes 9 yards of material to make a mans kilt!

Was that a question??

 

Actually I was told by an old fighter pilot that .50 cal ammo belts were 9 yards long so if you held the trigger down till you ran out you "gave 'em the whole nine yards".

 

Really......This subject is still being discussed ???

 

And if you're really serious, you can build on this with a "splayed" 5th & 6th bolt on each side of the bearing cap. These holes have to be machined into the block as well and a special cap used.

 

I saw a guy weraing a kilt once and asked him what was worn under there, he said " worn, hell its hardly been used"

 

Now imagine all 6 belts of .50 cal ammo being fired all at once!..... That's allot of lead!

 

Q: What do you guys wear under your kilts?

A: Your wifes lipstick.

what was the original question?

 

Don't forget the 37mm cannon in the early marks and the 20mm cannon in later marks on top of all those 50.Cal (12.7mm).

Doc.

 

Why do Scotsmen wear the kilt?

Because it takes both hands to hold onto the sheep!
