Checking the deck for warpage My head was milled over the past few days and I'd like to check the block as well before putting it together. Can I just use a straightedge? Gimme some advice! |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage Use a straight edge and a feller gauage to check the block. |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage now i know why i couldnt see most of the pics yesterday. photobucket got hacked lol. ill post a pic for you as soon as its fixed |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage Sounds good. I pray that it's fine.... |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage Most of the time the block doesnt warp it is the head. To warp a block you had to over heat the F*ck out of it. |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage It overheated twice but never got more than 3/4 of the way or so up |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage Never ever ever ever seen a block warp......you would have to leave all the coolant out, drive for 5 days, no just kidding but it's hard work to warp it. The motor would probably stop running before the block warped. I asked all my mechanics in the back.....100+ years of experience & no warped blocks.....these guys even use to do head gaskets on Twin turbo supras back in the day....no warpage. I didn't even bother to check my block.... |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage I wouldnt say you should never check a block, staranger things have happened. It only takes a little time to check, and I say better sfe than sorry. |

Re: Checking the deck for warpage Yea a block warping would be pretty tough to achieve.. but if its been milled it wouldn't hurt to check any mistakes someone might've done.. |

Re: Checking the deck for warpage They're old school |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage 5 mechanics, each w/ at least 20 years+.....100 years at least...and yes they're old ****ers...but they're good |
Re: Checking the deck for warpage Yeah, I know. It was low-hanging fruit. I couldn't resist. |
