Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
If you use this block filler? Can i leave crank in so i dont have to deal with new main bearings and crap?? Also puttin in h beams so with the old rods out and i fill the block, be alright to just set the pistons back in at top, to keep cylinders round for sure. Let it dry and sit for a few days and then take pistons out and put rods and pistons back in and be fine
? Just didnt want to have to strip a good block down the whole way.. Any ideas let me know. Thanks

I left the crankshaft in, and torqued down my head, when curing the epoxy so any bore shift would be stabilized.
Ideally you want to machine/hone the bores after pouring + curing the block. Ideally, you want to replace your main bearings, too - and with ACLs for D-series rods + mains going for $50 from www.autohausaz.com there's little reason to skimp out in that area.
But, you know, this IS homemadeturbo.com, not buyabunchoffaggotshinypartslikearichboy.com, so if you DID cut a corner or two you'd probably get away with it.

ACL rods and ACL mains, $49.xx and you get free shipping for orders over $50 - I got bearings, cam and both crank seals for $58 to the door. Very prompt. I think it was crx304 or **** touting them, and I can say I'm very happy with the service.

devcon can be heat cured and ready to go real quick
moroso says to room temperature cure it for 28 days, eep.
. i doubt it would fit in a conventional oven anyways. but 28 days to cure

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
28 days is rediculous... i filled my block with moroso and drilled it after 1week and it chewed up good masonry bits....if you consider 28days from the time it's filled to when you first start up the motor i guess thats reasonable.
