hey crx304 i seen your update on your car in generall discussion and i noticed you didnt block fill the new motor. why not having problems with it. i just block filled mine tonight. hopefully it works. im kinda scared now i seen you didnt do it, since you did that huge write up on it. let me know. thanks chris fox

 

A buddie of mine mentioned sugar maybe less corrosive than salt. Does anyone know if this is true?

 

I think you got this backwards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe his old motor had block posts. His new motor is filled.

 

correct....

old motor = posts

new motor = filled

filled motor = good

good = happy

happy = ownage

ownage = priceless!

I understand the whole block posting and filling. I also understand that you had to drill in the holes through the filling after the fact. Since you have done the block filling ordeal, do you think there would be a much more efficient and safer way of making those holes rather than drilling through them? I was thinking of putting straws or sticks in before pouring in the aluminum Just a thought. Reason I ask is I'm thinking block filling my LS block...

Beau, wanna share the secret method y0?

 

so i take it that the filled motor is working out good. because i just got done doing mine and it turned out real good, well i think so!!!!!!!!!

 

this is what ive done the past few days

 

Looks good Z6ef. How did you heat yours so it would harden? Did you do it as crx304 stated using heater's etc.?

 

i put mine straight in the oven at 200 for 4 hours. i think it turned out good . thanks to crx304

 

that's what i like to see!!!!

do those holes in the filler match up close to ur headgasket?

looks real good!
