Bigsix Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 if youre looking into a used block to begin a build, I would not buy a block unless I could see it myself.... and even then it is a bit of a gamble. There can be damage right in front of your face that u cannot see. If you are doing a high performance build, your best bet is going to be to pick the best possible looking block you can find, tear it down completely, 100 percent if it isnt already, and contact a local performance shop and have the block magnaflux'd which will reveal any damage u might not be able to see... do the same for the head as well, unless u are using a known good head or buying it from a reputable shop.

They are the best of blocks to boost, thanks to an open deck design.

molemonlaw Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 If you are facing any problem with your used car, you can claim it: Document the repair orders that indicate the problem in your used lemon car Notify the manufacturer of your car or vehicle of the defects and nonconformities, directly Submit the warranty dispute to the arbitration program listed with the help of your state lemon law attorney for used cars, to improve your chances of receiving proper compensation Quote Thanks, Missouri Lemon Law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 ^god damn solicitors. whatchu wanna do is find a block with little visible wear on the machined surfaces, contact the person and inquire about head deck warpage, and cylinder bore taper/shape due to usage,if all else fails get a block and have it bored out. remember the way to find out what your cylinder will be after boring is Taper x 2, + 0.01" Quote chevrolet all day er day.

wilemonlaw Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 If you have any problems with the used cars, better to take an advice from lemon law attorney. This is the best way. If it is manufacturer's problem, you can claim it. They will guide you properly. Contact a lemon law attorney for free initial consultation at Wisconsin Lemon Law Quote Thanka, Wisconsin Lemon Law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the best of blocks to boost, thanks to an open deck design. Great motor to build for N/A though no open deck block is good to boost..... thin cylinder walls..... a great block to boost is a fully closed deck..... have it sleeved and put bout 25 psi to it (with proper internals and standalone ecu and such) and you will have a QUICK car. me personally im not a honda person...dont have anything against them but i like my subaru. btw isnt the k20 the most powerful out of the box? thats what i was told lol i heard they are hard to find aftermarket parts for though n thats why no one uses them..... idk...
