Well, then, maybe the guy over at the SAAC Forum is right. 8,000-10,000 is about it? Machining with any block is important, but even more critical with an aluminum block it sounds.

It would be great if Keith Craft could chime in and hear his longevity (or lack thereof) stories with the CSX, Genesis and Pond aluminum blocks.
