Im trying to figure out where is the bestplace to tap a 2nd cooling line on a stock head.. I know it should be on the opposite side but is there one place better or easier then others? Anybody got some pics?
Thanks

Inlet or bypass fitting? The inlet goes into the manifold - you can drill and tap a mirror image to the one that you have. Why are you adding a second line with a stock setup? You should have plenty of cooling already. The motor isn't going to start to run hot until you add compression and mess with the timing.

On the vertical part of the front of the head in the center. The metal is thicker there. I have a pic but it wont upload.

What Mike said. Front of the head, vertical part that faces gas tank.
I burned up several head gaskets untill I tapped the stock head for a water outlet on the front.

I have an aftermarket head that the previous owner drilled and tapped the front stock exhaust mount for extra cooling. I just ran it out to another pisser.
