Do you have a picture of the steam holes? I've not seen them before. I've got one.

Does anyone really think they didn't know about the problems? The decisions is made: "Will it hurt sales to admit that there are problems?" "Yes" "STFU"

The Hemi block has eight steam holes near the lower head bolt holes. The wedge block does not have these steam holes. The block pictured above is correct for a wedge block and does not have the Hemi steam holes.
The wedge industrial blocks had these steam holes. The later stock 440 blocks had the steam holes, especially the 440-3 motor home and truck blocks

The later stock 440 blocks had the steam holes, especially the 440-3 motor home and truck blocks Every wedge block that I saw with steam holes had only four per side, not eight like the Hemi. In 1985 or 1986, Chrysler had a blow out sale on B and RB parts. I ordered and bought a RB block from the local Dodge dealer. It has a 1978 casting date and it has four steam holes per side. It came with either a 4.19 or 4.25 bore, I can't remember. I used that block in my race car in the late 1980's to mid 1990's. I still have that block in storage. I also bought a B block. It has a 1977 casting date and has four steam holes per side. It has a 4.12 bore. I still have that block in storage and it is new.

We all make mistakes but it's nice to know there's no quality control whatsoever. How does the QC man sleep at night? His services are worth nowhere near minimum wage. Maybe his last job was as a weatherman?
running up my post count some more .

Interesting. I was looking today at a Bulldog iron wedge block and it has the steam holes in it. Todd Yes but were you able to get water out of the head? Joe

It’s been over 3 months since the discovery of the mis-machined Callie’s wedge block was revealed.
Any positive updates to report?
