It's OK. I like the Hard Block product better myself. The Moroso stuff will erode and break up over a few years. Hard Block lasts FOREVER!  ------------------

I have not used it before but as I understand you mix it with water and pour it into the water jacket of your block. It sets and provides additional strength for the cylinder walls as well as providing a better ring seal.Alex, do you have the URL for "Hard Block"?? Thanks

Oh, forgot to ask...how do you position the block if filling it to the water pump holes? Or do they explain this on the website?Thanks

One comment on Hard Block or any filler. I was told that the machining must be done AFTER the filler is poured in. ------------------

Yep, that's the stuff, sprtcpe63.
You have to keep the block level so it flows evenly across. If you let your engine just hang on your engine stand, tilting down in front, the filler will not flow across evenly. Some folks fill them up to the bottom of the water pump outlets while others fill them up to the bottom of the freeze plugs (which isn't much). Some folks tap on the block to help move it to the back of the block or use a small dia. rod to push it into the back. Make sure you clean the outside of your block of any spillage. The more water you use, the easier it is to pour and fill in, but the longer it'll take to 'set up'. Be aware, if you fill above the block coolant drain or freeze plugs, neither will serve their purpose any longer. You can however, drill and tap and install an Allen head plug just above the fill level to allow you to drain the coolant. If you're building a cruiser motor, not a race motor, do you really want to add the 25 to 35 lbs. of extra weight to your engine? I'd check with your machine shop guy before you do it - cause like you said, some guys like to put it in before and some after boring/machining...and you probably want to do what he would stand behind & recommend you do. Good Luck! Ryan

That's the place. H&H specialties. According to their information you can install it before or after machining. I like to do it before. You can use it n a S&S engine. We do it all of the time with an adequate radiator. ------------------
