agree with hotrex. just filled a d16 tonight and have some pics on the camera. I'll post it up later when i find the damn cable for it. Anyhow, just a quick question... The block is essentially only filled like 1" deep correct? Since the top of the water is pretty high up.

Yes scuff the inside of the waterjacket and use brake cleaner, especially after filling the block with salt.

 

i filled my d16 a few weeks ago and i'm in the process of building it.. i'll take some pics tonight if i get batteries for the digi cam... i used moroso My machinist assured me that the moroso was sufficent. i drilled out the collant holes just as they are in the head gasket.. the ---- is basically portland cement.. we'll see how it works out soon

here's it is....

 

Thats the block I filled last night. well see how it turns out.

 

so yeah ive been readig up on this but i am still uncertain on the perpose. like i got from this thread that it gives it that added suport but is it just a cheap and easy way to not resleeve the block? ive seen i thnk it was those eagle sleeve? with a semi closed deck it that what this is?

 

this mod eliminates cylendar flex on the top of the sleeve.

 

i have a ls block im going to fill very soon, i wanted to know, i have moroso block filler, and i need to know how much i need, like how many cups, how much water to mix with it, can anyone help me with that, it dosent seem to have directions on it, but any help would be much apeciated. i need to do it soon. so how much filler i need and how much water to mix with it? its a ls block and i want to fill from the top of the w pump to the top basicly.

 

hmmm...for an ls block maybe get the 3lb devcon cost a grip but not as much as golden eagle...just to be on the safe side... get a paint measuring cup and fill it up to 5:1 (5 alum. and 1 hardener)

hope it helps

 

blake u dont use water!

 

If your using the Moroso..which is essentialy cement..add more water. More water requires a longer intial curing time. But!! The extra water makes it cure slower given you a stronger end result.
