Message: [QUOTE="smokinstroker92, post: 920774, member: 3595"] Long story short my old setup was too much for my forged rods and they let go, so I am building a motor and going to fill the block. Looking to fill it about 2in below the deck which should be right over the freeze plugs. I'm looking for some tips and tricks for filling the block? This will be my first time filling a block and just like to know exactly what I'm doing before I get started. I have been searching and haven't been able to find any real step by step instructions on how to do it. If anybody has some pics they would lime to post it would be greatly appreciated. I know that the water jackets need to be very clean and after filling provisions will need to be made for water to reach the oil cooler as well as the water pump holes to the heads. And while filling the girdle and heads need to be torqued to stress the block. I also have been looking into other filling material than hard block such as the embeco 885 which will match the expansion characteristics of the block better. Has anyone had any experience with this filler or others? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
