Hardblock Question

randy wilson · 06-12-2014, 07:38 PM

I'm sure there are people who do fine filling their blocks. Just telling of my personal experience. It NEVER settled down for me in any block used. To each his own. We may have actually applied it wrong.

I wouldn't fill with hardblock or any aggregrate based filler. I have been using bowling ball epoxy with excellent results. Mix it to the ratio listed on the bottle and it is easier to fill and cleaner overall. Water jackets need to be clean though, no debris or coolant or oil.
