Well. I have not had the time to look through all the tech questions, so I apoligize, in advance, if this has already been addressed.
Well, I've picked up a total of 3 blocks from other racers that my pops knows. They all said, "Yeah. The block will pass the pressure test and line bore test." None the less, none have passed. Now they're talking about just cemeting the hole in the first block that I was supposed to use to race. The hole is in one of the passages, and it is completely visible to the naked eye. It's a purdy damn big hole, if you ask me.
Now here is my question... Will the block still be as strong as it once was? Obviously, the hole makes the block weak, and not functionable, but will the cemet cure this problem and make it "back to normal" again?
Any input in appreciated! I'm just trying to decide if I need to dig into my savings and buy a new block and try it again with the line bore and pressure testing, or if I should let them cemet the block back to normal.
Thanks!!
