Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
I think Beau's 470 whp B16 with a third as many cooling holes as I thought I wanted sold me on block pouring.
I have the assembled shortblock - poured A6, LS rods, GX pistons - that I need to take some pictures of.

Having trouble getting this Deavcon aluminum epoxy. Anyone else having problems with it? I dont own a business so it poses a problem. Also, doing some research and found out that Moroso block filling breaks down over time. Is this true with the Devcon Aluminum epoxy as well?
Davis, post some pics.

I just ordered under the guise of my local community college - they send a bunch of the machine shop and automotive boys that way to buy basic gear. You order it under their name, but have to pay cash/charge with your own money.

you need the devcon. part number 10710 is a 1 lb tub
10720 is the 3 lb tub. i get then for 35 and 5 respectively.
its the devcon liquid aluminum f-2.
prep is the most important thing possible with this. i dunno if these guys previously scuffed the inside of the water jacket, but it is critical. that and brake cleaning the area after every step.
