Re: Block posting studs needed
"Sleeve play" is not the issue. "Sleeve swelling" is, you can't stop it from happening, and a post placing one single "pressure" point of resistance to that swelling is the last thing you want. Hold the pin against the balloon as you inflate it, son.
Seen a number of cylinder liners that crack @ right angles to the placement of the post under the high hp numbers Mister Endyn claims they are good for. Both local shadetree installs by guys who were warned about properly torquing the posts, as well as a couple of disasters Mister Endyn talked RLZ into trying. I *would* assume that a man with multiple Pro-Stock/NHRA/Winston Cup wins + records attributable to his work, invented the strutted piston, builds 10 second NA NDRA street class Honduhs laid into porky 2000 lbs chassis, etc, knows what he's talking about when he says, "that ---- doesn't work."
Every unbraced liner I've seen let go starts cracking from midway up the bore + then normally ------s upward. Just goes to show the swelling is most pronounce right where you place a post.
Think about it.

I have block posts from Endyn and I haven't built my engine yet, but i am hoping for *some* improvement over the stock sleeves, assuming that I get the install correct (placement, TORQUE, sealant, etc)
I work at a calibration lab, so the torque screwdriver I will use will be calibrated to 2 in/lb (+ or - 0.1)
I have the DevCon Aluminum Epoxy.
So you are telling me I am wasting time and money on this stuff and that I should just go with a stock block or spend the money on a real re-sleeved block, rather than run the Endyn block posts?
