Not even going to go into it, and I'm sure it was a mistake. Someone else must have gotten my block though. So you say to bail out on the block then? Would be destine to grenade? What power level do you think I can get away with? Just do another block?
I can't tell one what to do with their stuff already done. Not my call.

But I would never 4 bolt that kind of block if a customer brought me one. I would send it back out the door or tell him to keep it for a mild 455 conversion or mild 400.

It might last one pass or 100 passes or 1000 passes. I'm not Carnak. LOL.
