All responses seem to revolve around OEM standard and anything less than that is assumed to be junk. That's fine. I'm just trying to narrow it down to a more technical discussion on how that is derived.

I'm no idiot, and agree with most everything you and others have said. But most is just theories or assumptions.

I'm done, cause I may be a bit guilting of taking the orignal post off topic.
Would you agree that a block designed for higher HP applications than an OEM block that has a Brinell reading that's much lower than an OEM block would be unacceptable?
