Re: Filling Block..... How To
Looks good Z6ef. How did you heat yours so it would harden? Did you do it as crx304 stated using heater's etc.?
|
Re: Filling Block..... How To
i put mine straight in the oven at 200 for 4 hours. i think it turned out good ;D. thanks to crx304
|
Re: Filling Block..... How To
;D
that's what i like to see!!!! do those holes in the filler match up close to ur headgasket? looks real good! mike |
Re: Filling Block..... How To
i did it just the how to. put the gasket on and put small indentions in the filler. took it off and went to town. ;)
|
Re: Filling Block..... How To
looking sweet...
Now its time to clean up that block a lil bit! haha =) How hard is that aluminum filler? Is it the same hardness that you would expect on the block? Damn im debating hard about this sh!t. |
Re: Filling Block..... How To
it looks alot harder than what it really is. give a try. ;) the more you think about it the more you turn away from it. i woke up one day and said im going to fill my block and its done now. its kinda hard to get that aluminum filler because its a business to business sale only, luckily where i work had an account with them ;D. if you cant get it for some reason let me know and we can work something out so you can get it ;)

Re: Filling Block..... How To
ehhhhh....from what i'm now reading it "has expansion similar to that of cast iron" but many peeps have recoomended it to me....maybe i'll look into this before using it..the jug is in my garage...
|
Re: Filling Block..... How To
Actually I think Beau used that Moroso filler.
|
Re: Filling Block..... How To

Re: Filling Block..... How To
I'm very interested in this block filling, and i'd just like to ask approximately how thick does the filler get and wouldn't it be just similar to installing a blockguard in the middle part of the sleeve?

I mean, we are all doing this because we want more power than knock limit on pump gas, yes? Not because we think it'll be safe to push a sissified 300 whp on... |

Re: Filling Block..... How To
I meant exactly what I said. What's so confusing?
|
Re: Filling Block..... How To
so the block is fille only about 2", 3/16" from teh top? Damn, this is tempting. I think I'll buy a messed up LS block to try this out on.

Re: Filling Block..... How To
*****UPDATE*****
car has been driven a total of 4k+ daily driven miles, and for the last week and a half it has been 90+ - 100 degrees here in Michigan and is holding a stable medium temp w/ t-stat installed decided not to boost over 15psi anymore due to last blown headgasket.... yes, it was a cheep NAPA one. but, i'm also still running a 14b and what's the point of pushing over 15psi on that? i like efficency... on a side note... i ended up running my friends 2nd gen eclipse FWD. he has a 16g, Slo-boy ported ex mani, Tial WG, Greddy BOV, Greddy FMIC, UR racing pulleys, crower cams, TI retainers and doulble valve springs, Slo-boy kevlar clutch, and DSM Link..... needles to say, i was very un-impressed. on the first run i pulled at least 15 cars on him up to 110mph. on the second run, i pulled an easy eight cars. yes people saw it... it has been a ongoing saga between us two, and the day finally came.....i was peaking @ 12psi he was peaking @ 11psi..... all in all, it was a fun night, and yes, he was pissed when we went back to the garage..... he said that "it just gave the motovation to come back stronger and whoop my ass".... and i replied....... " Bring it" hope this brings some confidence to the ppl who want to try the Filled Block" all i can say is thank you JEFF...ABAZ, for the idea and the info on how to do it. out mike |

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
so what would you recommend for not popping the headgasket? think one of the copper ones will hold better?
|
Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
not sure if mike is using arp headstuds but if he is not, that might be a good starting point. Looks like I'll most likely be doing this on my next bulild.. we shall see... i mightuse some CHOPSTICKS to make those holes though! haha!

He'll have to ditch the 16G before he can touch you. It's called power to weight. |

Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
I'm using the Cometic HP HG.
|
Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
Also if you having some high temps issues then run Redline water wetter and maybe a colder t-stat?
|
Re: Filling Block... How To.... UPDATED
Water wetter just reduces surface tension, so that thick coolant flows more easily into those oddly shaped nooks + crannies inside the water jacket. It's $ and an item hard to find on an auto parts store shelf. Substitute acetone as needed.
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
just orderd filler for my ls bought from summit for 12.95 plus shipping total of 21.95 so ill post pics soon trying to fill it this sunday
