i think block fill is in order for me over the winter. do i need to pull the engine out of the car? i have top end off of the motor as it is right now.

thanks

Yes, removing the engine is necessary as the block fill will slightly distort the cylinder bores as it hardens & will likely require a slight hone to be sure the bores are round. The type & amount of fill as well as your cylinder wall thickness will change this amount of distortion, but you should be sure it has not runied any tolerances.

Did you get my e-mail by any chance?

Hope this helps.

 

You may want to be able to rotate the block as well to insure even and
thorough filling.

 

oh well **** filling the block till next time the block comes out! i planned on tearing it down NEXT winter, freshen bearings.
