Question #1 - S&S Super E carb needs a spacer block because the throttle pull cable won’t clear the head. S&S has two size blocks I’m aware of. I’d like to use the shorter spacer block but it’s a close call. Which one have some of you used in the past. FWIW I’m using a Phares panifold so I don’t know if that’s shorter than the S&S version or not.
Question #2- Hadn’t seen my motor in two years and noticed there are no d-rings on the heads after the rebuild.
Looked through my old pictures and saw they weren’t on the motor to begin with when I gave it to the builder. This is my first foray into panheads so are they necessary to stop leaks ?
I can see why a chopper builder would remove them to see more of the Pan tops .
Is gaskets better these days to render them unnecessary or should I find a set of d-rings and slam them on ?
