Anyone post/pin their blocks with success?

Other than Jeff and Ghettoturbo, has anyone had any luck posting/pinning their block with success?

I read the post in the general section about when Jeff blew up his motor racing a bike... it didn't sound like block posting was good for the motor.

I posted mine myself. It's pretty easy. The best thing I did was practice threading a soft piece of wood to make sure I was threading the right size, and to just get one practice one in before I did the block.

How many miles have you guys had on your motors while they were boosted and posted? Any problems yet?

What about the shavings that goes in the block after you're done drilling?

I know in Jeff's tech article it says that Nascar and other forms of racing have done it. So i guess my question is, do they do it the same way as the article?
