[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 15322531, member: 35549"] I had a resleeved Teksid first. As long as the machining is done properly the aluminum should be ok. We ended up finding cracks in mine and we think it was the machining. Granted that block went through a lot before I got it. I picked up an iron Boss block because I couldn't afford the aluminum version. That lived on pump gas and 91 octane. The most boost it saw was 19psi. I never had head gasket issues with the iron block. I'm hoping to re-use that shortblock in my 04 at some point. [/QUOTE]
