--in other technical news;

The key to aluminum block success is its consistency to obey the designed specification.

== which requires the correct casting atmospherics and unwavering process.

I had the good fortune to speak with a gentleman who went over to the UK in the early 1980s as a manufacturing consultant.

he found unacceptable humidity levels in their casting area , which lead to porosity in the castings.

The other things found were castings being removed from molds before they were cool.

this lead to core shift or misshapen blocks.

I do think that cottage industry has given us options we thought were gone (new FE blocks) it needs to be tread with caution, and double checking.
