This block still good?!?
1 Attachment(s)
So I was going to start prepping the block for tear down and noticed that the guy who built it before jb welded the freeze plugs in, figured I could still grind and pound them out, but then I noticed this wear from the water pump.. This has me worried the block is no good. Any thoughts?

Sorry didn't realize it was blurry

Re: This block still good?!?
Yea, there is definite wear on it! I guess I wouldn't be too worried, You'll have mroe water flow! haha

Re: This block still good?!?
Hmmm, I wouldn't use it personally. It might be fine, but I'm not sure how well the pump would work with that huge clearance.

Brought the block into work, they said I shouldn't have an issue. But just for kicks since I got time yet, here's more pics

I think my old block was like that, I had no cooling issues driving it in 100* heat in TX.
I think you will find most DSM blocks to be like that these days. |
Re: This block still good?!?
Y'all need to change your water pumps out more frequently. :D

Re: This block still good?!?
Wow that sure is a big groove! Like Aaron said above, it'll probably work fine.
|
Re: This block still good?!?
Good deal, thanks for the input guys. So far the plan is still to build this block.

Well just found something else out. Any reason why they would have Jb welded multiple oil galleys closed? From the #1 main to the front case and then 2 more

blocks are cheap, don't risk it. The majority of the $$ you'll have tied up into it is not in the block casting itself, so sense in risking it on a sketchy block.

Re: This block still good?!?
yes, making a table out of it or something artsy
I got the block from tyler who got it from someone i'm assuming as he didn't build it. On to looking for another block. |
Re: This block still good?!?
I can take on guess on which Tyler youre talking about.
