I know this is old but after seeing it I had to check, I have the Teskid block too :banana:
I'm not even sure what that means but apparently it is a good thing :coolman:

Teksid blocks are/were manufactured by the company that makes blocks for Ferrari.

Between the two aluminum blocks (Teksid and WAP) the Teksid is about 5 lbs heavier, but is also the stronger of the two.

from what ive heard and seen thats a wap. teksids have bigger ribs. and they are only supposed to have 6. also they are suppose to have square blocks not diamond shaped ones.

3 years.... Some things are better left dead.

Guys, maybe this has been said earlier, the Build Date of the car, Has Nothing to do with the build date of the engine.

Look at the drivers side valve cover for the bar code sticker, it will have the engine build date.


Motor On........ op:

On the other hand, I found the previous owner of my car.:banana:

damn im gonna want to rev mine to like 6500. i guess im gonna have to order a forged rotating assembly. Is it true if you stroke your motor you wont be able to rev as high?

well it won't rev as quick, and if its all the same quality then you might not be able to rev as high. alot has to do with build quality and quality of the parts. but if you get forged internals and have equally capable valvle train components then you should have no prob revvin that high and higher.

I'm thinking about selling my '01 cobra Vert. With Teksid...(I just don't drive it much these days after I got my Lotus) how much are they going for these days?
