lots and lots of closed deck engines out there. but i dont specifically know the measurements of how far down it closed.

thats actually a good idea/point hmmm maybe my spare d15b2 might get this treatment then

I honestly wouldnt do this to a daily driver, I think pinning and posting would be the better way to go for DD.

i think it would be an excellent alternative to block posting, or block guards. and it shouldnt be a problem with daily driving, as long as it had a little room up to before the head, and if it wasnt too thick, so hot spots wouldnt form on the sleeve. personally, i wouldnt do it for a daily, because the HP levels i would want a daily to be at are well within the range of stock sleeves, but it should be fine for a daily.

when the block heats up and expands what does the filler do does it expand with the block just wondering because i know they make special iron mix block filler to expand at the same rate as your block on cast iron blocks

Gonna try this on my spare motor. Another thought could you do block posting and block guard how would that handle?

Re:block filler ,block gaurd or block posting

what about making a mold so when you pour in the filler you can make "pillars" on the sides of the cylinders so there is less blockage

i would think 5 or 6 "pillars" around each cyl would hold well enough
