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

Re: Filling Block..... How To
 

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.

Re: Filling Block..... How To
 

correct....

old motor = posts

new motor = filled

filled motor = good

good = happy

happy = ownage

ownage = priceless!

Re: Filling Block..... How To
 

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?

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
