I do plan on building the bottom end, I just want to see what the stock block can handle. Thanx for the input :0)
You could also take high-speed runs in the rain on bald tires to see how well they grip

We just hate to see a disaster when it could have been avoided. A stitch in time...

I dont see anything disasterous about what im doing. For one it could be considered R&d at my expense to see the stock blocks limits. I would be insane if I didnt plan on replacing the block down the road

You can shove parts all over the place. Destroy the block, freeze up the block and ruin other stuff, and even destroy the head you just rebuilt. I thought of doing what you are but decided to do it right and fully the first time. Less stuff broken and less money thrown away. Now on the other side if you got money to burn jump on in and good luck.

Damn GDM, I was about to support you. I was going to say if you have the money and don't mind being stranded when it blows then go for it.

But then you go and say "I'm broke after this little project" (sorry for the corrections) and throw it all away. When are people going to learn that cheap FI is the most expensive? What happens when you blow the engine and are "broke"? No car!
