i have not been a big fan of block filling. it seems to me that you would want the top of the cylinder the strongest, but your reinforce the bottem with concrete. thats why i am asking the question before i do it.



Actually the center of the cyl needs some help.. the
top and bottom have the steel.. the top has the deck..
I have filled 2 blocks.. I cracked a cyl wall on one
and water still ran into the cyl... that tells me
that due to shrinkage it pulled back from the wall
and thus it really didnt do anything except increase
the temp of the water and the oil... specially on a
street engine I wont fill it
