Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

you want something that expands and contracts the same as the block..i'd be worried with some home chepot bolts...

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

thats my point exactly. So i want to know where to buy these bolts besides from endyn?

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

I will try to research later. Yes you want a mterial with the same thermodynamic properies. I will have to did out my Materials Engineering text today.

I just pinned a ZC block in my daily driver. I called and called endyn, left messages but he wouldnt return my calls. So I said ---- it and just went to the hardware store and bought some aluminum rod and made my own posts. I'm pretty certain its not the exact same alloy as a honda block but I figure I'd try it. It cost me about 5 dollars to make, and about a hour to do. I also skimmped on the intake side (supposivly you want 8 on the intake) and just did 4 posts on each side.

Its been holding up well so far, but not like its that impressive. It's probably around 275whp @ 20ish psi.

On b-series blocks I dont even think I would post or fill the block, there are lots of people making great power with open deck (no support) . D-series is a bit different since ive seen alot of headgaskets blow due to slight sleeve movement.

jeff why didnt you fill instad of post.....

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

because if you read the directions on the moroso block filler it says it takes like 1 week to cure, and I'm sure the devcon takes atleast 24 hours if not more to fully cure and be ran at full temp. 4 hours after these pictures this thing was being "broke in" at 15psi, we had a race the next day =)

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

yeah my devcon took about 24 hrs. but im in no hurry. still waiting on those psiton rings....

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

moroso is 28 days jeff!! lol

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

lol, ok I knew it was something crazy like that. I remember reading the directions and going wtf?

Re: Block filling and Block Posting
 

moroso isnt even for aluminum blocks, so dismiss that all together....

you need devcon liquid aluminum f-2
