Message: [QUOTE="Wayne, post: 1190313, member: 863"] I recommended it to him because my boss at the time said it was a good idea, that it would help strengthen the block, and needed to be done. I was the sales guy. I went along with it because I saw how it helped in other applications. At that point, I had not yet looked at the water jackets myself. After seeing it myself, I have formed another opinion. If I see a block break near the water jacket area, or definitive signs of "block flex" causing problems that could be alleviated by filling the jackets then that opinion could be reversed. This falls into the same category imo as bed plate studs for a 6.0 and 6.4. Does it cause any real problems having it done? not for most people. I have yet to see a need though. It's a tough call for a lot of people in a situation building a big fancy motor. You don't want to cut any corners, and make sure all your bases are covered to give it the best chance of surviving the abuse you have in mind, so you check the box. "Yeah, I want that because you said it would help, and I don't want to need another." For some people, it's no big deal. It costs a little more money for the potential upgrade, and the potential negative effects are worth the trade-off. Maybe Kaleb's cool with that. I hope so. It's great that you are. Anyway, no big deal either way. Just shop talk. [/QUOTE]
