Mr. Ralph Napoleon I started on your Nissan RB26DETT block. I just taped the front main oil hole going to install the 1-solid plug back in the back of the block that is a tapper plug I know it will not leak. Next, I align honed the mains with your ARP stud kit like always it came out great next the block is in the boring machine and took a test pass on 1-of the bad cylinders and clean up great left about .007 to hone with your torque plate. Will have the block on the milling machine tomorrow and by late tomorrow will get it in the honing machine. See less
