you have to make a relationship w/ a machine shop to get good prices. Bring in a couple blocks/heads and watch the prices drop

 

i just take them thru the back door! i love my friends!

 

i have a buddy that works in a machine shop but the do all manufacturing sort of parts..they make airplane parts and its all CNC so they do hundreds at a time..

 

CRX304, any dyno testing planned for this. Maybe eventually when you upgrade your turbo? I'm seriously considering doing this to a spare B18b block and am curious to know how well it will hold up. I'm not asking anyone to go blow their engine up on a dyno for testing, but I'd like to see some dyno sheets of filled blocks and at what pressures these things can handle.

 

this comming friday i'm hitting the dyno

 

Check out your local Napa. The small rinky dink place by my house has a machine shop in the back that's 3x the size of the store and when I went in there the floor was covered with tagged blocks and heads either waiting to be worked on or finished. The prices at Napa are also pretty damn good, much better than a lot of speed shops charge for labor alone.

 

The two at summit are for cast iron blocks. The have " an expansion rate very similiar to cast iron".

 

Which expands at a rate most similar to stock sleeves, aluminum or cast iron?

 

so then i would use the one from summit for the f22b2 block right?

 

the aluminum block is getting filled so you would use the aluminum filler. the filler is not attaching to the iron sleeves.
