Can anyone tell me whether you fill the block when it's bare or when engine assembly is installed? Where is there a place around hear that will do it?

Thanx

I would (personally) have the block filled before any machine work.

This is a VERY argueed issue and I dont want to cause one here but some say you can fill after assembly but I cant get myself to believe that........to each their own...

They fill in the passages with a 'cement'.

Plus side: Block is more riged and stronger.

Minus side: Blocked passages = hot motor.

Its usually done to drag-only motors that are not driven on the street.
