So now we're back to the original question, are aftermarket caps worth the money and effort? Will it buy me more time, help some, or other wise am I better off just leaving it and crossing my fingers until I can get a better block?



Why put the money and effort if your going an R3?
Run it stock and hope for the best. It would be a shame to put caps on along with the machining expense if something were to go boom.



Because except for the line bore I can do it all myself. I have no idea how long I'll need to use this block because the economy isn't getting better and there is a change in ownership here at the dealership waiting in the wings. In the meantime it looks like a ghost town here. Just trying to get by the best I can for now.
