Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
question about curing it.
1. put it in the oven and roommate will murder me and block filler will then be useless. 2. no real heater vents to use what if i just let it room temperature cure in my house? would that work as long as it sits for a long time? how long? |

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
I actually found a solution for me.
I was sitting there thinking about what i could use to heat these fuckers. What I need is a big oven...so then I realized that I have a powdercoating guy who has a carport size oven for doing his powdercaoting, perfect! |

Colder thermostats rock! If you're a richman, those aluminum radiators with a ~20 psi radiator cap also help a ---- ton. |
Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
Yes, it does all that by cutting surface tension. Thinner coolant flows better past internal engine surfaces and bypasses hotspots before they would otherwise form...

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
Plenty of guys say water wetter works, but Me and an other guy at w shop with a 380whp LS/Vtec Boosted have seen no real gain from running it. I mixed it exactly to what the bottle says and no change.

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
so a good headgasket and arp studs= no blown headgasket?

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
no detonation + any headgasket = no BHG

You don't have to *actually* be a business to buy the Devcon epoxy from Grainger. They just want to classify people like that. You can order the epoxy online, or if you live two miles from a Grainger, like I do, walk in and tell them your company is "Tuenarboi Incorporated." They set up an account for tracking purposes, but do not as for Tax ID numbers or anything official like.
$40.79 for 1lb of F-2 liquid aluminum, picked it up today. Turbo Sam has my GX pistons on order at his cost for $28/per, going to be hammered onto LS rods, dropped into an almighty A6, and I'll be shooting for near-300 whp worth of 12.5:1 CR non-IC turbo fury. YAAAARR!11 Water injection bypasses mundane concerns regarding thermal load, knock limit, octane, and the whole concept of "charge temps." |
