I thought I had heard there being issues with these keeping head gasket seal at high boost due to there being less surface area.
It May be...admittedly I am a NA guy.
There are a few FI BB-STROKER folks in SVTP who can speak on that.
I know dry sleeving has boost limits...
Relief cuts are dependent on the cams you choose.
The guys that were having issues were making in the 4 digit realm. I want to say one or two were close to 1500, but don't quote me on that. I remember it being way above wherever I was aiming for so I wasn't worried.
Unless something has changed this was a one size fits all kinda thing. The relief that's shown in the pic is for the 3V head. 2v and 4v don't need that. But that used to be the only way to get it. If that's changed then even better for the us 2v and 4v peeps.
Yes and thanks
Liked but don't like. That looks fimiliar :-(
We had similar problems on a race motor years ago, turned out engine builder did not do a final torque on 1 rod. And it decided to make a window in the block. We had one season on it, really snotty motor. The engine builder found it on tear down and stood by his work.

Wow, an engine builder that will stand by his work..........that is a rare one.
X1000^^^ Almost unheard of. It’s a race motor, shit happens is the typical response.
Sorry about your luck OP. What should have been a fulfilling day wasn’t.
I thought these motors are only good for 700hp?
Bought another teksid block. Appreciate everyone’s opinions.
