Re: LA block intermediate shaft install

I bought one of THESE from Summit:

Found a couple of things to improve: cut a groove down the threaded part 
of the bolt  to release pressure and chucked it in a drill & rounded the 
tip to avoid damaging the piston.

Works GREAT!  I noticed this one (also from Summit):

already has the tip of the stop bolt rounded.  I could feel the 
difference after grooving my bolt by blowing through it.
Don't honestly know if compression would/could be a problem because the 
piston is coming up pretty slowly turning the crank by hand.
Just seemed like a good idea - and the Dremel was handy! :-D
