welded in blockguard kids was done back in the old school days and it supported a 500 whp b16 on 35 psi. it works

Some of the people with filled blocks are real pros, and some (like hotrex) are real cons.

Also, I used sugar instead of salt,like some of the other guys did. and also, don't fill it up to the very top, you should leave a little bit from the top. And It would be helpful to read the entire post, and ignore Hotrex's results.
