Hi folks,

Peter wrote "we think about putting dowel pins/register pins (what is correct in English?) between block and head to prevent that the block sides can move outwards".

I interpret this as the method that Surelock do with cold metal stitching and strongly advise that this is thoroughly investigated before the engine restorer does anything . Take a look at http://www.castingrepairs.com/.

You never know, they may say "Oh yes another one of these, we did 5 last year..."

Comments from others please, I am only giving my thoughts...
